Botanical name: Potentilla Reptans L

Common Names: Creeping cinquefoil, European cinquefoil or Creeping tormentil,Cinquefoil. Five Fingers. Five-Finger Blossom. Sunkfield. Synkefoyle.

Habitat: Dry sunny locations in meadows, pastures and waste ground, usually on basic or neutral soils.
Creeping cinquefoil is native to Norway south to the Meditaerranean and the Himalayas, and introduced in New England, where it has been collected only in Massachusetts. In its native range, it prefers meadows and pastures on soils with near-neutral pH. It can be weedy, propagating on long runners.
The astringent compounds produced by its rhizomes have been used medicinally.
Plant Description: The rootstock branches at the top from several crowns, from which arise the long-stalked root-leaves and thread-like, creeping stems, which bear stalked leaves and solitary flowers. These stem-runners root at intervals and as they often attain a length of 5 feet, the plant is rapidly propagated, spreading over a wide area. It grows freely in meadows, pastures and by the wayside.
The name Five-leaved or Five Fingers refers to the leaves being divided into five leaflets. Each of these is about 1 1/2 inch long, with scattered hairs on the veins and margin, the veins being prominent below. The margins of the leaflets are much serrated. In rich soils the leaflets are often six or seven. Out of a hundred blossoms once picked as a test, eighty had the parts of the corolla, calyx and epicalyx in fives, and the remaining twenty were in sixes.
Although the flowers much resemble those of the Silverweed, the two plants can readily be distinguished by the difference in their leaves. The flowers secrete honey on a ringlike ridge surrounding the base of the stamens. Insects alighting on the petals dust themselves with the pollen, but do not touch the stigmas, as the honey ring extends beyond. If they alight in the middle of the next flower, they dust the pollen against the stigma and cross-pollinate it. But the flower is often self-pollinated. The flowers close up in part in dull weather and completely at night, and it is then that the anthers touch the stigmas.
Bacon says that frogs have a predilection for sitting on this herb: The toad will be much under Sage, frogs will be in Cinquefoil.
It was an ingredient in many spells in the Middle Ages, and was particularly used as a magic herb in love divinations. It was one of the ingredients of a special bait for fishing nets, which was held to ensure a heavy catch. This concoction consisted of corn boiled in thyme and marjoram water, mixed with nettles, cinquefoil and the juice of houseleek.
