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!
