Potentilla indica

Potentilla indica, known commonly as mock strawberry, Indian-strawberry, or snakeberry in North America,[2] is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae.

[1] It has ternate foliage and an aggregate accessory fruit, similar to the true strawberries of the Fragaria genus.

[8][9] The rare variety D. indica f. albocaput Naruh., with white receptacles and cream achenes, has been reported only in Argentina and Japan.

Mock strawberry is considered invasive in some regions of the United States and Canada, where it may disrupt local ecosystems.

[16][17] A survey conducted in Assam, India from 2018-2020 documented the use of Potentilla indica by traditional healers to treat asthma.
