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...

Seen these yellow flowers in one of the castle grounds in Vienna, AT.
Requested to provide ID.
Sorry I can't help with this one... If possible, when sending over photos, can you include a photo of the leaves and other plant parts, as that helps a lot... thanks.
