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. In order to somehow make up for the knowledge lost for a long time, we suggest you to get acquainted with one of the representatives of useful herbs - Lapchatka Norwegian.
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 sepals. Flowering begins in June and ends in September. 
Important! Potentilla (of any kind) - these are excellent ornamental plants, abundant and bright blooming which will be very useful in any flowerbed or mixborders.Leaf plates can be either ternate or composed of five parts, some of which are not pinnate (2-3 leaves). The leaflets are also divided into species according to their shape: they are oblong (the base is wedge-shaped) or obovate, but all the leaf plates are unevenly serrate and are covered with rigid hairiness on both sides.
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 of almost the same length as a mature fruit, maybe a little shorter than it. Fruiting begins 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 specimens with a height of no more than 20-30 cm are often found. 
Did you know? The folk names of Potentilla are “gooseberry”, “mogina”, “pyatiperstnik” and “pyatipoloshnik”, but the scientific name of the genus Potentilla can be decoded as “strong”, which fully corresponds to the healing possibilities of the plant.

Medicinal properties
For medicinal purposes, it is customary to use both the above-ground (stalks, flowers and leaves) and the underground parts of the silverweed, 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.
