looks sort of whorled (3 leaves) to me.

I may have got into this real deep! LOL, all Dragons fault!

I have to visit many sites just to get info. so you all have to be patient with me.

PS. told2b: we can call it Trifoliate yes. I always think of trifoliate as the 3 leafed plants growing in one direction but just saw a whorled look at the site. http://www.life.uiuc.edu/ib/335/Vegetative/palmcom pd.jpg

Nope not Heliotropium Arborescens. The MP is not in the Boraginaceae family.

I was trying to use the Leaf Chart that you had posted the other day.

You gave us all info on how to ID a MP by its leaf.
Then you post leaves of a MP.

Hope the chart helps told2b. I'm still learning, of course don't know all by memory yet. The list of terms I posted from the site is real short compared to all other charts I've seen & info. I've read. I'll post some more charts as I find them. Really helps with ID plants.
