Automatic identification via PlantNet summary
Most likely match: Reynosia septentrionalis Urb.
Beep, boop
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
It's definitely not a Reynosia, they have opposite leaf arrangements while your plant has an alternate leaf arrangement. Good luck!
Good to know. Are there any other leaf characteristics to look for when identifying plants? I was just thinking of shape and color, but there must be a lot more.
If you are a beginner make sure to learn the difference between a compound and simple leaf.
Leaf underside can be very helpful for some taxa. Lots of people forget to photograph those.
Also looking at different types of leaf hairs/trichomes. Sometimes this requires a hand lens.
Pattern of venation is also a good one.
Cool, thanks for the tips!
