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.

Nice flower!

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.

man, i wish i had weeds like that. Mine are all ugly

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
