Question
What is this plant? Found on country road in Ohio.
Answer
Dear kristyicarr, you've photographed Ricinus communis (castor-bean), a member of the spurge family. The palmately lobed leaves with petioles attached to the underside (and not the edge) is one of the distinctive characteristics for this plant.
