Alchemilla cryptantha Steud. ex A.Rich.

A creeping herb producing basal rosettes of shortly stalked ephemeral leaves and with long, often slender stolons rooting at the nodes and covered with long, whitish or yellowish hairs.. Stipules 0.8–1.2 cm. long, united below, free and foliaceous above, the ventral suture not extending as far as that at the rear, thus the aperture is oblique.. Leaves reniform, 5-lobed, 1–1.5(–3.5) cm. long, 1.7–3(–4.5) cm. broad, variably densely covered with long hairs on both surfaces, sometimes nearly glabrous; lobes broadly rounded to broadly obovate, normally shallow, not reaching beyond the centre of the lamina, the sides entire, the terminal teeth subequal (or the central ones smaller); petioles slender, hairy as the stems, up to ± 5 cm. long.. Flowers axillary, usually 1–2 together, ± concealed by the stipules, either subsessile or on filiform pedicels up to 8 mm. long (elongated, cymose inflorescences as in A. kiwuensis rarely developed).. Pedicels hairy as the stems.. Calyx-tube glabrous or covered with white hairs; calyx-lobes ovate-triangular, ± 0.75 mm. long; epicalyx-lobes exceeding the calyx-lobes, broadly ovate, acute, 1 mm. long.. Achenes (2–)5–8.
