User's notes

Lamiaceae botanical family sapling with shrubby form perhaps will become a shrub, a vine, or even a tree – to identify the species . Check out identification candidates of so far i think the most likely identification candidate: vine sapling _Premna limbata_ . Or less likely, perhaps identification candidates of : _Premna odorata_, sapling of trees of Vitex spp., vine sapling Clematis pickeringii, etc. . If you recognise this plant to genus or to species, please let me know in suggesting the species identification and in the comments . Mossman Gorge, long circuit track's highest section traversing the lower slopes of this ridge area . 2022 August 24th 3:11 pm .

@Ange thank you i appreciate the thoughtful identification suggestion.
This sapling of a larger growing plant species, does not have any stinging hairs hence not in the genus Urtica.

Thank you for reminding me to re-consider species in this wet tropics bio-region in this Urticaceae botanical family, as well as the more likely i still think: Lamiaceae botanical family .

Most plants' spp. in this bio-region in this Urticaceae botanical family do not have these opposite attached leaves which this plant in my sighting and _Urtica incisa_ have, hence less likely identification candidates so far as i know these Urticaceae botanical family spp. in this bio-region (about half of the spp. here, i have so far learned first hand in the field.) .

PS. I think the most likely identification candidate for me still remains: a vine sapling of Premna limbata .

Thanks Jason! No problem at all, I was scrolling through some of the unverified uploads and thought it looked familiar. :-)

Ange and all,
FWIW i have just uploaded this other sighting of a more advanced growth (sapling still?) vine in an off track area: Premna limbata .

I think these identify as the same species, but i have not yet confirmed that either.
Both these sightings' identifications remain for me a slow motion work in progress !

All the best,
Jason .
