Old Field Cinquefoil

Old field cinquefoil, Pontentilla simplex

Yellow flowers with five petals. The leaves are palmately divided (like fingers on a hand) into 5 leaflets. The largest leaflet is sharply toothed for more than half of its length. (Compare to running five-fingers, Potentilla canadensis, where the largest leaflet is toothed for less than half of its length.)
