Hog Peanut is a low-growing vine with
delicate leaves that have three leaflets. The leaflets are ovate and somewhat
triangular in shape with an untoothed (entire) margin. The center leaflet has
a longer stalk than the other two leaflets. I have found Hog Peanut in areas
of deciduous trees along the side of trails. The flower (not shown) is a purple
flower that looks a little bit like two jewelweed flowers facing away from each
other.
