Hello, wondering if you would know who this is simply by leaf shape and rosette pattern? It's growing along the edges of multiple trails in Neutaconkanut Hill in Providence, RI. I can't remember what plant was growing in such abundance in spring and summer. Hawkweed is what I remember. It's not garlic mustard, though that's present. Some kind of crowfoot? Thanks.
Answer
Dear sldz22, it looks to be a species of Geum (avens). The larger terminal leaflet with smaller leaflets along the rachis is characteristic of this genus. Without flowers/fruits, it would be hard for me to suggest an identification with confidence. Best wishes.
