Only a few are annual herbs. The following classification is based on the study by Torsten Eriksson and others, published in the International Journal of Plant Science 164: 197-211 (2003; at link below). Clade Roperculina (new – no rank in ICBN) Rosa (including Hulthemia) genera of Sanpotina Clade Sanpotina (new - no rank in ICBN) tribus Sanguisorbeae subtribus Sanguisorbinae genera Acaena, Bencomia, Cliffortia, Dendriopoterium, Marcetella, Margyricarpus, Polylepis, Poterium, Sanguisorba, Sarcopoterium, Tetraglochin subtribus Agrimoniinae genera Agrimonia, Aremonia, Hagenia, Leucosidea, Spenceria tribus Potentilleae genera Potentilla possibly the genera Comarella, Purpusia, Stellariopsis, genera of subtribus Fragariinae subtribus Fragariinae genera Alchemilla (with Aphanes but probably also Lachemilla and Zygalchemilla) Chamaerhodos, Comarum, Dasiphora (Pentaphylloides), Drymocallis, Fragaria, Sibbaldia, Sibbaldiopsis. some species, classified as Potentilla, may to be included here. genus Potentilla : the clade Potentilla includes Argentina, Duchesnea, Horkelia, Ivesia, and probably Horkeliella. Potential candidates for inclusion are : the genera Comarella, Purpusia, and Stellariopsis.
