Potentilla hebiichigo / Hebiichigo ヘビイチゴ

 
Potentilla hebiichigo, a perennial herb, occurs in paths between paddies or somewhat damp places. Stems crawl on the ground and take roots at nodes to make new growth. Leaves are yellow-green, comprising three leaflets 2-3.5cm in length. Flowers come on pedicles emerging from axils, and single yellow flowers are on them. Flowers measure 1.2-1.5cm in diameter; accessory calyx lobes are more significant than sepals, cleft in three, with long hairs. The fruit is 0.8-1cm long; the receptacles are light red, with wrinkles like achenes. Bloom time: April-June.
