Dasiphora

Dasiphora is a genus of three species of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa (shrubby cinquefoil), ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere. In the past, the genus was normally included in Potentilla as Potentilla sect. Rhopalostylae, but genetic evidence has shown it to be distinct.[1][2][3]

Species

See text

The leaves are divided into five (occasionally three or seven) leaflets arranged pinnately, whence the name cinquefoil (French, cinque feuilles, "five leaves").

Selected species
  • Dasiphora davurica (syn. D. glabra, D. mandschurica, Potentilla davurica, P. glabra)
  • Dasiphora fruticosa (syn. Potentilla fruticosa)
  • Dasiphora parvifolia (syn. Potentilla parvifolia)

The Flora of China also includes Potentilla bifurca (syn. Sibbaldianthe bifurca) and P. imbricata in this group,[3] but these species (which are not shrubs) do not have published combinations in Dasiphora.[4]

gollark: This is a web client for mpd which allows me to queue new tracks, search things, and that sort of thing, from my "web browser" on my laptop or phone.
gollark: Now, one of those clients for mpd is the creatively named ympd (I forgot what the y stands for).
gollark: But what does it output to? This will be gotten to in due time.
gollark: mpd uses a client-server model, so its "server" daemon bit does audio output, while it's managed by "clients" which manage the playlist and such.
gollark: Additionally, it handles transcoding into the 128kbps Opus output on demand.
