Potentilla recta

Flowering Plants

Potentilla recta, commonly called sulphur cinquefoil or rough-fruited cinquefoil, is a perennial herb native to Eurasia, likely originating in the Mediterranean region, that has become established across almost all of North America except the northernmost parts of Canada and Alaska after being introduced in the 19th century, first recorded in Ontario and later, in 1914, in British Columbia. It produces upright stems up to 80 centimeters tall with palmate leaves divided into six to nine leaflets, and light to pale yellow flowers, occasionally white or gold, blooming from June through August. It thrives in disturbed habitats and is classified as a minor noxious weed in some parts of its introduced range.
