Indian strawberry
Potentilla indica / Duchesnea indica

Field Notes
Description:
The leaves are trifoliate, roughly veined beneath, dark green, and often persisting through the winter, arising from short crowns. The plant spreads along creeping stolons, rooting and producing crowns at each node. The yellow flowers are produced in mid spring, then sporadically throughout the growing season. The fruits are white or red, and entirely covered with red seed-like achenes.
Habitat:
It is native to eastern and southern Asia.
Notes:
They are edible, but they have very little flavor.
Recent genetic evidence has shown that this genus is better included within Potentilla, but currently most sources still list it in the genus Duchesnea.
