|discussion=<p><i>Potentilla crantzii</i> is primarily European, not restricted to coasts as in North America. The nomenclatural history is long and complex (A. Kurtto et al. in J. Jalas et al. 1972+, vol. 13), with <i>P. alpestris</i> and <i>P. maculata</i> in greatest historical use. The name P. ×protea Soják is available for presumed hybrids between <i>P. crantzii</i> and <i>P. hyparctica</i>.</p><!--
--><p>The emphasis on two-ranked leaves to distinguish <i>Potentilla crantzii</i> from <i>P. verna</i> follows J. Soják (pers. comm.). Some collections of <i>P. crantzii</i> from Newfoundland approach <i>P. verna</i> in their more elongate caudex branches and shorter stature.</p>
