Pen and ink drawing on paper of Alchemilla vulgaris (Alchemilla vulgaris agg.) by Claude Aubriet c.1700. Recto: LR: Handwritten in ink: 'aubriet fecit'; Handwritten in graphite pencil: TC: '83', TR: '50', LL: 'Alchemilla vulgaris C.B'. Previously identified as Alchemilla mollis. There are 15 species that are very similar in Britain (one of which is A.mollis) that are included in an aggregate (=agg.). They mostly differ in the hairs on the plant and details of flowers, Aubriet's image is not detailed enough to distinguish exactly which species this is. English vernacular name: lady's mantle
