Field Notes

Habitat:

Backyard in moist soil - came up in a load of soil that we brought from CalPoly college.

Notes:

This was a fascinating backyard weed. The top of the dorsal side of the leaves were green and the ventral were magenta. This was my last unidentified spotting as of June 27 2015.
