Potentilla tanacetifolia, also called tansy‑leaved cinquefoil, is a plant in the family Rosaceae, native to Northeast Asia. The genus name Potentilla derives from the Latin potens (“powerful”), alluding to the plant’s reputed medicinal strength; the specific epithet tanacetifolia combines Tanacetum (the name of another genus) with the Latin folia (“leaves”), indicating that its foliage resembles that of tansy. In traditional medicine, particularly in Mongolia and China, Potentilla tanacetifolia is used to treat blood disorders, inflammation, and infections.
