Alchemilla is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants in the Rosaceae, commonly known as Lady's mantle. There are about 300 species, the majority native to cool temperate and subarctic regions of Europe and Asia, but a few species also present on the mountains of Africa, North America and South America.
These plants are used as a food plant by some Lepidopteraspecies, including Emperor Moth and Grizzled Skipper.
Some species, eg A. alpina, are used by gardeners in rock gardens.
