Sulfur Cinquefoil (Potentilla recta) Rosaceae (Rose family)

NOTE: These characteristics distinguish sulfur cinquefoil from native cinquefoils. Sulfur cinquefoil leaves are green, not grayish, on the underside; its seeds are ridged while others usually are not; it has comparatively more stem leaves and fewer basal leaves than other Potentilla species, and its hairs are at right angles to the stem and typically as long as stem is wide, while others usually lay flat against stem.
