Date Location Notes Images
June 20, 2011 Southeastern, New Hampshire 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).
