Aphanes australis
Also called Slender Parsley Piert, Small Fruited Parsley Piert
Aphanes australis (syn. Alchemilla australis), slender parsley-piert, is a sprawling, downy plant that is found in acid grassland and on bare ground throughout western Europe and which has spread to other parts of the world with agriculture.
Slender parsley-piert occurs throughout Western Europe, excluding the Mediterranean islands and the former Czechoslovakia, as far east as Turkey and southwards to North Africa. Although its scientific name originates from an American study, it is now considered to be an introduction there, where it is found in the eastern states from New York to Texas and on the west coast from Vancouver Island to Oregon. It is also known as an introduction in Australia and New Zealand.
There are no recorded uses for slender parsley-piert, but presumably anything that common parsley-piert is used for would also apply to this species.
