It's more black than red so I went with Japonica instead of maackii or morrowii which are the other two that reside at Rutgers.

This plant grows around my house and I can confidently say it is in the genus hedera based on it's leaves which are alternately arranged, have 5 lobes, and have palmate venation. I am between h. Helix and h. Hibernica. Can anyone assist me in differentiating them?

Mint Family (Family Lamiaceae)Observer
rcm148Description
Flowers were purple or white in a tubular shape with fused petals and sepals from what I could see. The Leaves were sinple and had an entire margin. Both the flower stalks and the leaves were covered in a white fuzz. I believe this plant to be a Stachys Byzantina based on the leaves, however, the flowers are not quite the same. I am confident though that it lies in the Mine Family.
