Hi. Not an answer to your question but I also am looking for the same answer. I guess some botany education would be helpful for this. When I look at poison ivy pictures, the two lateral leaves look opposite to me, not alternating. Is there some other meaning to this terminology besides the way the leaves look in relation to one another?
