Gurcharanji: It reminds one of strawberry leaf...
I know this as * cinquefoil* ... a very popular herbal with some schools ... also a prolific ground cover because of the prostrate habit of spread and growth;.. esp in southern california gardens... it will grow where the ubiquitous iceplant wont... I even had a houseplant cinquefoil... but it was of erect habit... dont know its botanical binomial though... thanks for reminding me of it... usha di ============.
