Field Parsley-piert Alchemilla arvensis
(Aphanes arvensis) Native throughout Europe, eastwards to Iran. Flowers May to October. Usually a prostrate species, forming dense mats of bright green vegetation, but may also form short, upright stems. The sepals of the petalless flowers are typically erect to slightly spreading, giving a flower that looks tubular and broadens out at the top. The flowers are nestled down inside the frill formed by the stipule and the lobes of the stipules are roughly as long as they are wide, thus forming equilateral triangles; these lobes are about half as long as the entire portion of the stipule.
