Len,

If the "Don't Know" plant had dull green leaves that look sort of like felt, 
I think it was called mullen where I grew up in Mississippi.  During the 
Depression of the 30s, folks stuffed the leaves into worn-out shoes to cover 
the holes and make them more comfortable.  I haven't seen any in many years.
