Mock Strawberry
Potentilla indica

Field Notes
Description:
Trifoliate leaves emerging from creeping stolons. Flowers are yellow, while fruits are red.
Habitat:
Forest
Notes:
Apparently the fruit is edible (according to Wikipedia--check some other sources first!), but not very tasteful. I see insects munching on the fruit often, however. This is an introduced species from Asia. Found at Barbara A. Beiser Field Station.
