1898 Dasiphora is a genus of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa (shrubby cinquefoil), ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere.

Rhopalostylae,[1] but genetic evidence has shown it to be distinct.

[2][3][4] The leaves are divided into five (occasionally three or seven) leaflets arranged pinnately, whence the name cinquefoil (French, cinque feuilles, "five leaves").

As of April 2023[update], Plants of the World Online accepts the following species:[5] The Flora of China also includes Potentilla bifurca (syn.

Sibbaldianthe imbricata) in this group,[1] but these species (which are not shrubs) do not have published combinations in Dasiphora.
