When I saw the flowers, I immediately thought of cinquefoil flowers. But the leaves looked
so much different. So, I went through the key of the Rosaceae family to discover that it
was the Dasiphora genus. Key:
- Leaf blades compound.
- Leaf blades once- or twice-pinnately compound, always with more than 3 leaflets.
- Plants woody.
- Inflorescence with fewer than 25 flowers. Flowers with many carpels.
- Plants unarmed (no bristles or prickles). Leaf margin untoothed (entire).
