In the wild, many useful and very valuable for human plants. In the old days, folk healers actively used generous natural gifts, but today they are increasingly being squeezed out by traditional medicine.

Botanical description
Specified one-, two-, three or four-year plant belongs to the Rosaceae family, although in fact its flowers are yellow. They are collected in many-flowered inflorescences and a little twisted. After flowering, the pedicels remain erect, and sepals change their sizes: the outer ones will be longer than the inner ones (they are the same during the flowering period). Flower petals are often shorter than the sepals. Flowering begins in June and ends in September. 
On the erect stem of the plant (at the top it is branched) there are quite a lot of leaves, and at the end rigid hairs are visualized.
The fruits of this type of Potentilla are egg-shaped, small and wrinkled. The bar is thickened at the base and is almost the same length as the mature fruit, maybe a little shorter than it. Fruiting starts around mid-summer, approximately in July, but depending on the climatic region, specific dates may vary slightly.
The height of an adult Norwegian Potentilla plant often reaches 50 cm, although often specimens with a height of no more than 20–30 cm are found. 
Potentilla Spread
Under natural conditions, this plant feels great in the so-called "weed" places (for example, on waste grounds and along busy roads), as well as near various water bodies, on steam fields, wastelands and clearings.
You can find it in Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Siberia, as well as in Europe, with the exception of southern regions. Sometimes the silverweed is well mastered right outside the residential buildings and in the gardens, although they are trying to remove it immediately from the latter, taking it as ordinary weed grass.
Medicinal properties
For medicinal purposes, it is customary to use both the above-ground (stems, flowers and leaves) and the underground parts of the cinquefoil, that is, the roots. As part of the latter, you can find useful tannins, and studying the composition of the grass, you will see that carotene is also added to them. Phenol carboxylic acids and many of their derivatives are found in the leaves of the plant: kaempferol, quercetin, caffeic, ellagic and ferulic acids.
Given such useful components, it is easy to explain the healing properties Potentilla brothwhich is successfully used for stenocardia and scrofula, as the plant has antibacterial properties.
