Can you update your info to include your location? What conditions was this plant growing in?
Maybe Potentilla but definitely not a fern. Do you know what the flower looked like? Look at Potentilla anserina - a California native found in wetland areas.

Argentina anserina is a synonym for Potentilla anserina. I believe Potenitlla anserina is the accepted name.

I was confused about Potentilla vs Argentina too but according to the Catalogue of Life, Argentina is the accepted name with Potentilla as the synonym.

I always use The Plant List. It lists Argentina as the synonym. If "THEY" would stop changing names on us, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Its Silverweed. A native that always grows in wet places.
