Can anyone identify this plant?

yay! well, for a weed, it is kinda cool… I might keep it I dunno. Thank you so much for this answer… It’s been bugging me for weeks.

We have an answer for you!

Senna obtusifolia (Chinese Senna or Sicklepod)

I agree it’s not anything that’s been mentioned so far. It’s got me stumped, I know what it’s not, but those leaves look very familiar. I’ll check with a friend of mine and let you know soon…

Dont think its clover. Look how the six leaves are arranged around the top shoot.

Clover usually have 3 leaves towards the end of a stem. The ones in pandypenguin ‘s photo are arranged in 3 pairs running up a stem.

See clover here: http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/clover.JPG

Nothing like it.

Does it have hard dark brown woody stems?

It looks like it may be a young Hypericum that can often self seed.

Does it look like a young version of this:

I’d like to also mention it’s 12 inches tall and about 8 inches in diameter… that view is from a 45 degree angle looking down, for most coverage.

I thought that it may be a weed as well, but it hasn’t spread… I’m looking for specific answers.

I would take it to my local garden center and ask them, but go to a place where thats all they sell because the big box stores probably wouldn’t know.

I think the stems go darker and woodier as the plant gets older.

Looks like some sort of clover to me

no, I dont think it’s a young version of that… the stems are the same color as the leaves.

edit.. I apologize… smarta.ss answer replaced with a good one… thanks

It’s most probably some weeds, like clovers or something.

African Cannabis. lol

GOOD LUCK !
