This came up in my winter sown pot labeled

Passiflora foetida. I don't think either one of these plants are the passiflora.

This plant has tendency to grow leggy, and with not enough light - even more. The soil mix is already mentioned as not very good either. Prune off the branches, let callus as Tiffany suggested. I wouldn't recommend to root them in water; they are better off to pot up. These cutting were left sitting without any soil for about a week. All were potted up in well-draining mix and spent summer outdoors: Same cuttings (indoors in winter, under lights):

Jacqueline, the photo was too blurry to get a close look at the leaves and flowers. If you can get a better close up, that would be great. If you post this question on the Name That Plant Forum, you should get a quick answer providing you submit a better close up. :)

remove it .... and cover bare soil with mulch.. to reduce next seasons crop ... yes.. its probably mildew .... you will .. of she will.. solve that issue with removal ... pretty sure bindweed is in the greater morning glory family ... and thats why it might look familiar ... i once had this on top of a 4 foot pile of rotting wood chips ... as i removed the woodchips .... i found it had roots down.. get this.. 4 feet ... she might need to go the killer route .... ken

The leaves look like some kind of legume plant. From googling plants online, I think it may be Melilotus albus or white flowered sweet clover. If so, it sounds like it's pretty invasive.

I don't know where it came from unless it was in the potting soil.

I hope the small plant is foetida. The seeds were a few years old so I didn't know if they would still germinate.

I second "Mrs. Passiflora" AKA "Jolana. The small one looks like a passiflora. I don't know the big one, but it's beautiful.
