Alchemilla sect. Alchemilla is one of the 13 European sections of the genus Lady's mantle ( Alchemilla ). Most of the species were earlier in the species group Alchemilla vulgaris agg. guided.

This section consists of hybrids between the Erectae and Ultravulgares sections . Their characteristics are composed of the characteristics of the two parent sections.

features

The species are medium-sized to large, rosette-forming perennials . The seedlings have short internodes . The main axis is not very long-lived, is usually less than six years old. It reaches a diameter of 27 millimeters. The cotyledons are elliptical, the primary leaf is three- to five-lobed. The leaves are up to 22 centimeters wide. The leaf base is three to many nerved. The incision in the tute is one to five millimeters long. The stipules are often small, their auricles often fused. They are toothed, green-tipped, they usually dry up quickly and form a tunic. On the lowest stem leaf, the stipules are usually sickle-shaped or horizontally tongued, at the top they are lobed.

The stem is erect and can be up to 80 centimeters long. The inflorescence is profuse and can contain over 1000 flowers. He is a clearly a winding pronounced monochasium .

The flowers are often yellow, the outer calyx is quite large. The goblet, on the other hand, is often short and top-shaped and slightly hairy. The discus bulge in the flower is usually narrower than the opening. The stamen usually has a broad base and narrows towards the top. Usually they only have one carpel . The ripe nuts only reach halfway out of the flower.

The chromosomes are slightly ovoid.

The flowering time and rhythm of life in the Central European species are closer to those of the Ultravulgares section .

distribution

The section is widespread in Europe with the exception of the extreme south and north, as well as in Siberia and in the Middle East to Iran.

Systematics

The assignment of the species to the section follows Fröhner (1995), whereby changes to the section assignment and new species from Fischer (2008) have been adopted:
