    It’s definitely not a Reynosia, they have opposite leaf arrangements while your plant has an alternate leaf arrangement. Good luck!

      Good to know. Are there any other leaf characteristics to look for when identifying plants? I was just thinking of shape and color, but there must be a lot more.

        If you are a beginner make sure to learn the difference between a compound and simple leaf.

        Leaf underside can be very helpful for some taxa. Lots of people forget to photograph those.

        Also looking at different types of leaf hairs/trichomes. Sometimes this requires a hand lens.

        Pattern of venation is also a good one.
