No Potentilla pedunculosa does not exist but P.peducularis D.Don does, however the Potentilla photographed does not look anything like that species.
This is the third Potentilla thought to be P.peduncularis - none of which are or indeed even come close to resembling this species...... I shall return to these images when time permits. Potentilla is quite a large genus with several species which are similar to each other.
