Hello! This Potentilla shows multi-toothed bractlets so I believe it is P. indica.
http://www.namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=498 is a good visual guide if you wish to know more.
Luckily it is possible to ID this species from the leaf or fruit alone but for many plants that is not possible. For future observations, could you please take more photos? For plant ID, it's good to get a photo of: a wide view of the whole plant & the surrounding environment, a good shot of the leaves, stems, flowers, back of the flower and fruit attached if possible. This would help future IDers help you.
