  I believe that’s jewelweed. But next time at last say the region that the plant is in. That can help.

  Too generic and immature ATM. Is there an older specimen around? Hopefully one with flowers or fruits or seeds?

  How big are the leaves? Does it smell nice when you rub a leaf between your fingers?

    I have tried out the smell. Every leaf has a smell when crushed. This smell l would call anything but pleasant.

      In that case it might be something like Achyrates Bidentata or one of its relatives. A lot of those are used in traditional medicine.

      During the Chinese Liang Dynasty, Achyranthes bidentata was used for its abortion effectiveness. Chinese folk doctors would take the juices of crushed up Achyranthes bidentata and insert them into the vagina to induce abortion.[4] This abortive technique was common among folk medicine practitioners in southern China during the Republican period.[5]

      Yikes.
