"Potentilla indica" is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. It has foliage and an aggregate accessory fruit similar to that of a true strawberry. It has yellow flowers, unlike the white or slightly pink flowers of true strawberries. It is native to eastern and southern Asia, but has been introduced to many other areas as a medicinal and an ornamental plant, subsequently naturalizing in many regions worldwide.

Was it growing in the grass? If yes, it might still be there and you could get a leaf shot? As you noted, it does look more bumpy, but I think that the woodland strawberries do sometimes look like that. They aren't always smooth. Otherwise, maybe it could be a mock strawberry (if you have those in your area). Posted 5 years ago
