A List of plants that look like Marijuana

Can anyone please identify this river weed? Here's the background info I typed up on grasscity:

What you're looking at is 4-6 plants I found growing on a rocky beach at a mountain reservoir in Colorado. The sawtooth leaves have an incredibly similar structure to cannabis, only the largest ones are no more than 3 inches in diameter. All of the leaves spring up from very short stalks that fan out from the center of the plant. All of the leaves have 7 leaflets, including the newly formed leaves. The bigger plants have stalks around a foot to a foot and a half in length that only have small yellow flower buds on them. I don't know what the flowers look like when mature. Some of the plants found at the lake were submerged under water (the reservoir isn't tidal but it is periodically emptied). None of the plants have any smell to them. An average medium-sized plant has roots that consist of 3 or 4 long smooth runners. The beach had at least a hundred plants growing on it - a small percentage of them were genetic variations with parallel leaves that fan out from the leaf-stalks like ferns, but most of the plants fan out from a center point on the leaf-stalks.

So, please tell me, what the hell am I now growing?

Hmm, I think I have the same plant growing in my backyard, if not a differen't species of it. Heres some pics, WITH the flowers bloomed.
I've been trying to figure out what this is for awhile now.
It grows to about 1-1/2ft, all leaves have 7 blades.

yeah dude that's definitely at least in the same genus. it might even be the same species, different variety - there was 2 kinds of my plant growing along the shore (one looked a lot like a weird fern). I'm thinking my plant probably doesn't have leaf growth on the flower stalks due to being grown under water. and my leaves are dark green on top and white on the bottom. its funny how my fake pot looks like indica while your fake pot looks like sativa. I'll get you a genus name, even if I have to email a bunch of botanists. thanks for the photo!

I found a list of all the plants that grow in the county I was in, specified yellow flowers, and I got it! woot.


Potentilla pulcherrima


The variety with the fern-like leaves is called Potentilla hippiana (which is amusing heh)

OMG, thank you. I always wanted to know what the name of this plant was. I snatched seed while near Rolla Mo, and planted them in the spring here in Texas. Now they volunteer every year. The put out a wonderful skunky masking scent also...B

I have nettles all over my backyard, and around my area. If you don't touch the little needles it doesn't sting you, and if you don't scratch it it goes away in like 1/2 hour.
