Aphanes
Genus of flowering plants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aphanes (parsley-piert) is a genus of around 20 species[1] in the rose family (Rosaceae), native to Europe, Asia and Australia. A 2003 study indicated that Aphanes may belong to the genus Alchemilla, commonly called lady's-mantle.[2][3] They are slender, annual prostrate herbs, much-branched with deeply lobed leaves, pilose (covered with soft hair) and on short petioles. The tiny green to yellow flowers without petals grow in clusters in the denticulate leaflike stipules.
