Leaflets with only about 5-7 teeth each side, the end tooth not extending beyond a line joining the tips of the adjacent ones. Other features: Like all Potentilla sp, has epicalyx outside the calyx proper. Fruit looks nothing like a strawberry. One of the earliest plants to flower. Flowers 1-3 together on long stalk. |
