Dasiphora is a genus of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa (shrubby cinquefoil), ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere. In the past, the genus was normally included in Potentilla as Potentilla sect. Rhopalostylae,[1] but genetic evidence has shown it to be distinct.[2][3][4]

The leaves are divided into five (occasionally three or seven) leaflets arranged pinnately, whence the name cinquefoil (French, cinque feuilles, "five leaves").

Species

(As of April 2023), Plants of the World Online accepts the following species:[5]
