Potentilla sterilis

Leaves resemble those of strawberries

Potentilla sterilis, also called Barren strawberry, is a species native to Europe.

The plant looks rather like wild Woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca), or a true garden strawberry, but is a smaller plant, with smaller flowers, and it doesn't form fleshy fruit. After the petals have fallen from a flower no obvious fruit forms. The petals are usually well separated from one another, not overlapping.
