Mysteries solved #1 - the pinesol plant

My mystery 'pinesol plant': Guarijiro Conivari

My style of gardening and land care is sort of brutal. I tend to like more plants in the ground than in pots so they can 'forage for themselves,' as it were. I grow free range plants. ^_^

I also rarely weed, on purpose. When wild grasses grow, I let them grow and then use them for mulch. When an unknown plant pops up, I let it stay to see what it is - the birds often brings some interesting ones. A tree, a native flower, a grass, whatever. I have had native ground cherries (tomatillos) grow this way, chiltepines, Texas tobacco, a whitethorn acacia, globe mallows, hordes of wild flowers…and the mystery plants. The ones that I haven't a clue about, that no one can identify.

One of these has been what I refer to as my Pinesol Plant. It looks like this:
