Thus far, there was only one suggestion for a name for my mystery leaf of the other day. Thanks to Liz for the suggestion of nonogamboge, of the genus nonogambogia. Here is a picture of a different plant of the same species.
I hope some of my botanical friends might have some suggestions. Thanks.


If I’m not mistaken that’s a PawPaw plant… I think. It’s been so long since I saw one. Let me share this with my native plant watcher, he’ll know.
My friend says that it is a castor bean.
YES! I looked it up on the net, and there is a picture that looks just like the one I took. Thank you, Starsmedicine!
