Botanical Description
Dian Di Mei is a regional Pinyin folk name used chiefly in Yunnan and southwestern Chinese ethnobotanical literature. It has been applied to more than one small rosaceous herb — most often Geum aleppicum Jacq. or Potentilla freyniana Bornm. (both Rosaceae) — and occasionally to other low-growing herbs of damp meadows and forest edges. Because no single authoritative source secures the binomial, no detailed morphological description is offered here. Texts citing Dian Di Mei for clearing heat, dispelling damp, or treating dysentery should be cross-referenced with local Yunnan herbal compendia and voucher specimens before therapeutic use. Treat as unidentified pending confirmation.
