..the leaves of the plant i am trying to identify are longish (4-5 inches)and double toothed,
They are situated on a thick, square stem in what seems to me to be approximately the same locations and density as a cannabis plant.
The leaves are pointed also, not spatulate or round..
although it does have a square , thick stem, i do not think it is in the mint or nepeta family.

There is no 'minty' or aromatic smell to the plant leaves.

i can go back and analyse the plant more.. i only pulled off one leaf and identified it as being double toothed..

and then i rubbed my eyes, ( smart, aren;t i ?) and got really itchy and red eyes..yech.

can someone help me identify this garden intruder.
thanks
alice

when you look at it from above, the leaves seem to all grow from a whorl in the top..

i made a mental note of how it looks on the stem..
( which of course, i have mostly forgotten. )
there are no flowers yet at the base of the leaves.

i think i do remember seeing little buds.

hmm.. to tell the truth, i do not know WHAT the doggone thing is.. and i do not usually ask a question at gardenweb unless i do a LOT of looking on my own through weed books, and etc etc online..

i just could not locate it.

i may just give up ..

thank you for your kind response, however.

alice

if i find out what it is, i will complete the thread by telling y'all

thanks again,
alice

thanks again to all.
