Title: What is this plant?
Post by: WhistlingBadger on August 20, 2020, 09:47:07 pm
I have a few of these growing in my garden.  It's a fairly large, spreading, radiating plant about 2-3' across.  Tiny, inconspicuous white flowers.  The leaves are about 3" across.  The fruits are berry-like, still green, maybe 1/2" across, and look a lot like tiny pumpkins.

Hi, it looks like it might be mallow.

Is it a shrub, vine, perennial or annual? will you post pics of the fruit?

I'm pretty sure you're right.

Can't tell if it's perennial or annual.  It just came up this year.  It's more like a spreading shrub than a vine.  The stems seem to radiate from a central point.  I'll try to get a close-up of the fruits tonight.  They are shaped kind of like tiny pumpkins, and they divide into radial segments.
