Alchemilla kiwuensis Engl.

A low herb usually with basal rosettes with or without creeping, ± slender runners covered with long spreading white hairs, often rooting and developing secondary rosettes at intervals.. Stipules commonly 1–2.5 cm. long, united below, free and foliaceous above, the dorsal and ventral sutures being nearly of equal length, thus the aperture scarcely oblique.. Rosette-leaves petiolate, rounded to reniform in outline, 5–7(–9)-lobed, 1.8–3(–4.5) cm. long, 2.5–4.5(–7) cm. wide, variably hairy on both surfaces with whitish hairs; lobes usually reaching beyond the centre of the lamina, oblong-elliptic to obovate, terminally rounded, the teeth up to 2 mm. deep and continuing down the sides of the lobes which are entire only towards the base; petiole 3–12 cm. long.. Stem-leaves smaller, usually 5-lobed, 1–1.5 cm. long, 1.5–2.5 cm. wide; petiole 1.5–2.5 cm. long.. Flowers in 1–4-flowered cymose clusters or in shortly branched panicles; the inflorescence rarely of only 1–2 flowers hidden by the stipules as in A. cryptantha; pedicels short, up to 1 mm. long, glabrous or hairy.. Calyx-tube ± 2 mm. long, covered with long, spreading white hairs; calyx-lobes 0.75 mm. long, ovate-triangular; epicalyx-lobes exceeding the calyx-lobes, 1–1.25 mm. long, broadly ovate.. Achenes 5–8.
