 o
Mystery Plant help please

Posted by davesmoo northwest W.A. (My Page) on

Hi, As you can see I am from the Northwest (Karratha)in Australia. I have found a little vine that has sprouted in one of my pot plants but I have no idea what it is. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Its leaves look a bit like a 3 leaf clover but about four times the size (at the moment) anthe top leaf is twice the size of the two lower leaves, it is also a climber or vine, twining its self around another plant as it grows. It is a green about the same colour as mint or basil. It is strange for something to pop up at this time of year when it is normally very hot. Hope some one can help. Thanks

Is there ANY chance of a photo? Rather hard to guess when its so small. I'm thinking from the 3-leaf bit that its some kind of pea/legume which might be a native but could be wrong.

Usually a "pop-up" is either a seed carried on the wind or dropped by a bird etc, or a seed latent in the potting mix - if it was re-cycled at your place, or if it fell into the potplant before you bought it.

Interesting anyway let us know if you can tell more or show it.
