Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates

Lady’s mantle, Alchemilla vulgaris, is a perennial plant with small yellow flowers arranged in clusters and multi-lobed leaves. It is found across Europe and usually flowers between June and September. It is found on unimproved farmland and roadside verges. The common name comes from its traditional use in herbal medicine, particularly for gynaecological conditions- salicylic acid (the active ingredient in aspirin) is among the compounds identified in the plant. The leaves have a tendency to collect water in the form of silvery drops on their surface, increasing the attractiveness of the plant in gardens. The Latin name Alchemilla comes from the association of this with alchemy, with it held that these water droplets were pure enough to turn base metal into gold.
