Alchemilla acutiloba, commonly known as acute-lobed lady's-mantle, is a perennial herb in the family Rosaceae belonging to the apomictic Alchemilla vulgaris aggregate, native to central and northern Europe and parts of western Asia, where it occurs in damp meadows, woodland edges, and mountain pastures. The plant typically grows 20 to 50 centimetres tall, arising from a stout, woody, branching rootstock. The basal leaves are long-stalked, palmately lobed with seven to eleven sharply triangular, acutely toothed lobes 3 to 8 centimetres across, dull green and sparsely hairy on the upper surface and softly pubescent beneath, often holding glistening dewdrops at the margins through guttation. Stem leaves are smaller and short-stalked. The inflorescence is a much-branched terminal cyme of many tiny yellowish-green flowers 3 to 4 millimetres across; the perianth lacks petals and consists of four greenish sepals alternating with four small epicalyx segments. Fruits are small achenes enclosed in the persistent hypanthium. Flowering occurs from late spring through summer.
