Potentilla is a genus containing over 300 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. Potentillas are generally found throughout the northern continents of the world. The scientific name Potentilla seems to have been influenced by a fusion of ancient names for these plants. The European cinquefoil (Potentilla reptans), was often used medicinally. Cinquefoils grow wild in most cool and cold regions of the world. Most species are herbaceous perennials, but a few are erect or creeping shrubs. Some cinquefoils are grown as ornamental plants. These are generally high species with bright, showy flowers.
In heraldry, the cinquefoil emblem or potentilla signified strength, power, honor, and loyalty. Depiction of the five-petalled flower appears as early as 1033, in the architecture of the church built in the village of Reulle-Vergy in Burgundy, France, two years before the reign of William the Conqueror. The cinquefoil emblem was used generously in the architecture of numerous churches built in Normandy and Brittany through the 15th century.
Some species are used in herbalism. Common tormentil (P. erecta), for example, has been used as an herbal remedy for inflammation and gastrointestinal disorders. Research continues to determine its safety and usefulness as an alternative medicine for such disorders as ulcerative colitis. Potentilla discolor and P. multifida are Chinese medicinal herbs used to treat diabetes.
