The stems are often hairy up to the inflorescence . The basal leaves are up to 10 centimeters wide, flat, mostly circular with a narrow basal bay , seven or nine, rarely eleven-lobed and densely hairy on both sides. The leaf stalks are 0.5 to 1 millimeter long, on the terminal leaves up to 4 millimeters long. The leaf lobes are rounded to elliptical-ovate. The leaf margin seldom has teeth of the same length. The basal stipules are white at the base.
The flowering period extends from May to October. The compound inflorescence is profuse, the partial inflorescences are mostly densely spherical. The flower stalks and sepals are usually hairy scattered, but occasionally also glabrous. The flowers have a diameter of up to 4 millimeters. The goblet is elliptical and slightly narrowed towards the top.
The chromosome number is 2n = 101, 103-109, 110.
Occurrence
The mountain meadow lady's mantle is widespread in the temperate to boreal areas of Central , Northern and Eastern Europe . Its distribution area extends to the east into western Siberia , in the south it can be found more in the mountains to the Pyrenees and the Apennines .
The mountain meadow lady's mantle thrives on submontane to alpine, rarely planar to colline altitudes . It colonizes moderately dry to soaky meadows , pastures and ruderal areas (roadsides and roadsides).
In Germany, the mountain meadow lady's mantle is the most common type of the lady's mantle genus. In addition to the yellow-green lady's mantle ( Alchemilla xanthochlora ), it is the most common Alchemilla species in large parts of Central Europe.
