Potentilla recta
Soft yellow flowers on foliage that vaguely resembles that of marijuana (Cannabis sativa). Despite its beautiful flowers and interesting foliage, it is considered an obnoxious weed in many places and can grow into dense thickets where it is not controled.
It is native to Eurasia but it is present in North America as an introduced species, ranging through almost the entire continent except the northernmost part of Canada and Alaska.
Spotted in an open & previously cleared/disturbed lot between industrial complex and uncultivated wetlands/drainage area. Invasive listing: http://invasive.org/browse/subinfo.cfm?s...
