Date Location Notes Images
May 27, 2010 Southeastern, New Hampshire 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.
