Canary Islands Ivy (Hedera canariensis)

Date

March 8, 2024 01:18 PM NZDT

Description

Maybe? Or possibly an ivy, (as I initially thought from the glossy robust cotyledon leaf with veins similar to English ivy's), with unusual colouration of true leaf due to poor conditions? NB image 2 shows what appear to be tiny teeth or hairs around the rim of the first true leaf

A recently invasive seedling, left in situ for monitoring re ID, then to be uprooted. Interestingly, just two seedlings here in deep mulch in ornamental garden with monkey apple hedge; the other seedling was Kahili ginger (uprooted in last image)
