I'm gonna eat that motherfucker, so I need to be sure. Can birds, cats and dogs also eat them?

Edit: my cat sneaked into the room and ate a bit of a leaf, the same size I had tried myself yesterday. We dead, I'm typing from the afterlife. I tried uploading an actual photo of my plant but lemmy won't let me.

When trying to identify a plant, its characteristics are what you go by. This page has some that you can use for this plant, though you'll need a dissecting microscope most likely for some things, like stamens (the things that have pollen).
