The shape is generally oval, with a pointed tip. The leaf base tapers to a “winged” leaf stem that extends down the main stem. The leaf edges may have small rounded teeth and may be a little wavy. Attachment is alternate.

I have found what I thought was mullein, but it looks so much softer/fuzzier than this. I'm beginning to doubt my "discovery"!
