Lady's mantle (Alchemilla xanthochlora Rothm) is a triangular herb belonging to the Rosaceae family.

It has good antioxidant properties due to the flavonoids of its extract.

The volatile fraction from the aerial part of Alchemilla xanthochlora Rothm. (Rosaceae) was obtained by hydrodistillation, and the chemical composition of the obtained oil was determined by GC/FID and GC/MS. Several compounds were found, belonging to the classes of aldehydes, alcohols, terpenes, esters, acids and hydrocarbons. The major constituents were cis-3-hexenol (11.20+/-0.02%), linalool (10.36+/-0.75%), oct-1-en-3-ol (8.98+/-1.43%), and nonanal (7.83+/-0.93%), followed by myrtenol (4.65+/-0.40%), hexadecanoic acid (4.59+/-0.79%), cis-3-hexenyl acetate (3.92+/-0.15%) and alpha-terpineol (3.10+/-0.26%)(1).

It also has good amounts of Quercetin (2).

Some species of Alchemilla:

• Alchemilla vulgaris
• Velebitica alchemilla
• Alchemilla acutiloba Opiz
• Alchemilla mollis
