Notes: Alchemilla faeroeënsis is a morphologically characteristic species restricted to the Faeroes and eastern Iceland. Due to the very high chromosome number, Kurtto et al. (2007) suggested it to be a hybrid species developed from cross(es) between A. alpina and an unidentified species of series Vulgares. It is, however, widespread and also uniform within its range.
