Drymocallis is a genus of plants formerly (and sometimes still) included with the typical cinquefoils (Potentilla). It contains three species known or suspected to be protocarnivorous[1], but more cinquefoils might eventually be moved here:[2]

DNA sequence data suggests they are more closely related to Chamaerhodos and Dasiphora than to species such as Creeping Cinquefoil (P. reptans) which make of the bulk of Potentilla.[2]
