Herbs

I love the hunt. It was to guess where the deer was headed back when my legs worked better. In recent years it has been to trial my way through the biome to see what could be trained to fit inna bonsai pot.
This weeks 'hunt' has been to find the herbs used in a tea for kidney infections. The easy ones I think I have a lead on are:
Birch leaves dried
Stinging nettle leaves dried
'Berry' Dog rose
The harder finds, which I still think I have pretty good leads on are:
Equisetum Hymale, greater horsetail fern. (dried plants)
Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi, bearbery (dried leaves)
The dogs, that I am not having much luck finding at all:
Hernaria hirsuta, rupturewort (a native of only Malta ?)
Ononis Repens, restharrow ???
Its these last two I'm needing help finding.
