Potentilla tanacetifolia, also called Tansy-leaved Cinquefoil, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to Northeast Asia. It is characterized by yellow flowers, pinnate leaves, and a height of 15–65 cm. Typical cinquefoils look most similar to strawberries, but differ in usually having dry, inedible fruit (hence the name “barren strawberry” for some species). Potentilla tanacetifolia used in traditional medicine for treating blood disorders, inflammation, and infections, particularly in Mongolia and China. It is valued ecologically for erosion control.
