Default Weed for identification


WOndering if anyone recognizes this weedy plant. Lots of seedlings just
appeared this year and I let a couple grow to try to see what it might be.
About 60cm tall.

It's growing in the Washington, DC area.

Looks like Fatoua villosa, an herb in the Moraceae. Not something you
want to encourage. Compare

Just pulled them up - there were a lot more of them than I had realized.
