Thank you Ed. goes out to look at plant The leaves are smooth but not
shiny; the rain wets them all over instead of rolling off into droplets.

There would be a reason for that... the plant could absorb water through
the leaves, so it'd gain as much as possible from dew or light showers.
It's a very successful world-wide weed!
