According to LSU AgCenter Soybean, Weed, Insect and Disease Field Guide Pub 3243, cotyledons (seed leaves) are lance-shaped and smooth. The hypocotyl ( stem below the cotyledons) is red to green and can be smooth or hairy. Stems may be red and smooth or hairy. Leaves are alternate (only one leaf produced at each stem node) and 1 to 4 inches long, egg-shaped, with prominent veins beneath and long leaf petiole that attach to the stem. Flowers are densely crowded together at the top of the main stem. Male and female flowers are produced on separate plants. Male flowers are soft to touch and produce yellow pollen. Female flowers are stiff and sharp to the touch. Seeds are roughly the size of the point of a ballpoint pen and are dark red-brown.
