Common along ditches and wet places. Photographed from Pahalgam, Kashmir. It reminds one of strawberry leaf... I know this as cinquefoil ... a very popular herbal with some schools ... also a prolific ground cover because of the prostrate habit of spread and growth;.. esp in southern california gardens... it will grow where the ubiquitous iceplant wont... I even had a houseplant cinquefoil... but it was of erect habit... dont know its botanical binomial though... thanks for reminding me of it...
