It is easy to distinguish from the other Cinquefoils because it is much taller and the flower lobes are a much lighter yellow or sulphur color. Leaves palmately divided into 5-7 narrowly oval, deeply-toothed leaflets that are 1-3 inches long. The flowers of other Cinquefoils are darker yellow. It is found in dry fields and weedy places.
