This is one of those cases that the leaves looked nothing like what I saw in my field guide for this plant. Because of the red spot at the base of the leaves, I was wondering if it wasn't a mallow of some type, but couldn't narrow it down without help.

Once I got the plant identified, it was yanked from the ground. It was much easier to pull than the Common Mallow that freely grows around here.
