What is fivefinger grass and iron weed and do you have a diagram of the two?Five-finger grass is one of several names for herbs known botanically as Potentilla spp. We carry cinquefoil, Potentilla recta, which is a tannin-rich perennial herb used to treat diarrhea, to soothe burns, and to stop nosebleeds and internal bleeding. Other Potentilla species known as five-finger grass include Potentilla reptans, P. canadensis, P. arguta, P. simplex and others. All have similar properties and have a long history of use going back to the native American Indians.
