| [ID?] Unknown plant ID help
 Canon PowerShot S70 5.8mm 1/250th F2.8
Unknown herb |
I recently planted some herbs from some seeds that I received. However, I can't seem to ID one of the plants that started growing.
I've had one person say it might be sage, but doesn't seem to look like any of the pictures of sage that I can find. Is it a weed or something else?
Can anyone ID it?
Thanks |

@uiuc.edu | reply to helpwithID I believe your unknown plant is Mollugo verticillata (carpetweed). It is an annual plant from tropical America and is a common weed in disturbed areas in North America. |
