minus-square@spicethedirtlinkEnglish4•1 year agoIt’s definitely not a Reynosia, they have opposite leaf arrangements while your plant has an alternate leaf arrangement. Good luck!
minus-squareverde.vientolinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoGood 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.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-21 year agoIf 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.
