Cinquefoil
Potentilla
Potentilla is a genus of over 500 species in the rose family, mostly herbaceous perennials native to cool and cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere. They look like strawberry plants: leaves usually split into five leaflets (sometimes three, or many in a feather pattern) and five-petalled flowers, most often yellow but also white, pink or red, from spring into summer. The fruits are dry and inedible. Garden forms such as Potentilla nepalensis and P. atrosanguinea make clumps 30 cm to 1 m tall; others, such as P. reptans, creep along the ground. The shrubby cinquefoil now belongs to the genus Dasiphora.
yellow-flowered strawberry
