I have another one with yellow flowers:

It's driving me nuts as it can't be called 'broadleaf'. Any ideas?

It looks like rather wilted black medic. Or maybe hop clover. (I think I
can see some rolled leaves at various places in the photo.) It can creep
through the grass under mower height.

Ya...I figured black medic. I bought some Spectricide weed killer at Longs
Drugs yesterday for it for $5. It claimed to start getting immediate results,
which it did for the black medic (they turned brown almost immediately). The
dallisgrass turns black on some leaves but not others even though I 'soaked' it.
But that's all so far. The label says dallisgrass is one of the weeds it kills
so I'll wait.....or.....I might just dig them out.

Anyway, that's my best guess. I used to have some in my lawn, which
I hand-pulled. This involved finding the sprouting point and unweaving
long runners from the grass.

Still invades occasionally from the neighbor's lawn.

(He mows too short, with a dull blade, and cuts off too much at once,
giving a dramatic illustration of how the most important part of of lawn
maintainence is proper mowing.)
