I have a question about Velvet Leaf. It is an invasive weed, and I'm sure I should pull every bit of it. The problem is that I've learned the value of Mallow as a medicinal herb, and I'm wondering if Velvet Leaf will provide the same benefits. Does anyone have experience with this? The Latin name for the plant that I've heard the praises of is called Malva Neglecta and the Latin name of Velvet Leaf seems to be Abutilon theophrasti but it is definitely in the mallow family.

@Ann Hinshaw Thank you for the comment. It seems that most of the wild medicinals are considered invasive weeds.
A place to learn if anyone has done any research on a plant is Greenmedinfo.com. I've supported this site since going to my first Florida Herbal Conference. Not sure anyone has or will do the work on this if it is viewed as a weed. I gave the site the scientific name and have let it search for more than 5 minutes and it found nothing.
