DaisyI said:Greene, If you don't think this plant is Shiso, we need to discuss further before a positive ID is given.

Can you list your reasons?



Thank you Daisy,

I originally made my post hoping to stop the OP from consuming something that was not yet positively identified.

I'm not an expert on Shiso but I have grown 3 types, none of which look like the images offered.
The leaves look wrong, the stems look wrong, the flower shape looks wrong, the citrus scent does not agree with Shiso.
Also, I cannot see if the stems are square. Where is the plant growing? Where was it obtained?

Also, the proferred image is of a flower stalk has been removed from the plant. It would be good to see the entire plant, including flower stalk. Also to see close up images of the plant, the front and back of the leaves, etc. If possible, a close-up image of the flowers. Thank You!
