Tormentil (Potentilla erecta) is a flowering plant in the rose family.

History[]

Tormentil could be used as a potion ingredient. Tincture of tormentil was one of the ingredients in Zygmunt Budge's version of Doxycide.[2]

During the 1990–1991 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Pomona Sprout grew Tormentil, along with Cowbane and Hemlock in the Herbology greenhouses, in response to an infestation of doxies in Hogwarts Castle in which students were getting bitten and winding up in the Hospital Wing. She had Jacob's sibling, Chiara Lobosca and Barnaby Lee harvest these plants in the greenhouses so Doxycide could be brewed.[1]
