Identifying yellow wildflower
 

Hello,

I recently took this photograph and I am trying to identify it. The
closest I got was "Potentilla eriocarpa", but I don't this that is
correct.

The flower was growing in a small creek in Australia in Brisbane
Forest.

That's not a Potentilla. Its not even in the Rosaceae. Its not even a native
Australian species.

Its a Ludwigia peploides, an introduced weed.

That's really helpful, Doug.

The plant is still a nasty weed even if you don't know what it is. Weeds
with "pretty" flowers are probably the worst of all because of their
aesthetic appeal to the ignorant masses.

Thank you for you reply! Very helpful!

I didn't think I had the right flower, but it was the closest I could
get. I guess that my book on australian wildflowers does not include
introduced plants and weeds :)
