Here's a link to it pictured: Culantro on Onlyfoods.net
AHA! So that's what that is! Here where I grow I have been finding many mysterious plants. I always suspected many of them are left-overs from the lady who farmsteaded the property years ago. That is one I found 2 years ago! Pity I didn't let some bolt and produce seeds.
