I have a plant that has oval shaped leaves that are thickish and have hair. The edges are jagged cut when the leaves are small and grow less so as the leaf gets bigger. The stem is purple spotted and green. The stem on the two foot stems look like veins instead of spots.

  • I think a photograph of the plant in question would be very useful

  • With identification questions, it's useful to describe where in the world you found the plant, and the conditions where you found it (sun, shade, rocky hillside, forested riverbank, and so on). If you have more information about the plant, please update your question to add it. Thanks.

    It's occurred to me you could be describing Poison Hemlock (Comium maculatum), though there are other plants that have purple spotting and streaking on the main stems. Photograph or more info, as Niall asks, essential.

    Hemlock doesn't have oval leaves, though, so I think it must be one of the other many plants that have purple blotches on the stems.

    @TeresaMcgH - you're right, it doesn't, but the word used was 'opal' prior to your edit (presumably meaning oval) but then there's 'jagged cut', so its not clear. We really need a photo as there seems to be somewhat of a language barrier.
