[ID] Crinkly-leafed Weed Seedling Please!

[Jason Green]

Hi WAB'ers,

A crinkly-leafed weed seedling for identification, please!!

12/3/09


Any ideas?
...or is it too young at the moment?

Size: About 20mm from tip of root to leaves

Habitat: About three-five growing in bare, damp earth in a shaded garden corner under a tree

Any thoughts on identification appreciated

Take care,

Jason

Maybe you could've given it and us a bit more chance by allowing it to put on a couple of leaves before you uprooted the bloomin' thing

[Jason Green]

!!

Yep, good point - but it was already uprooted somehow before I got to it, laying on the surface next to the growing specimen! There are a few growing more successfully with the same leaves, so I will post them as they grow if it's needed.

I will re-pot the other maybe...

[Dutchess]

The trouble is, these little embryonic seedlings all look very similar at that age!

Possibly Forget-Me-Not, the leaves look downy.

[Hedge Witch]

Funnily enough, I was wondering exactly the same thing as Dutchess. I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise

its too early really to say anything but the hairy leaves are reminiscent of Sticky Mouse Ear

Thanks Dawn, HW and Jack - appreciated as always!!
