I was also going to tell you my cousin found a monster 4 prong it had seven leaves on each prong,and about half way down the stem it looked like there was two more prongs trying to grow they had little leaves 3 on each side.

This is the stage before the plant evolves to a 5 or 6 prong! It takes many, many years without setbacks for a seng plant to achieve 7 leaves on each of the 4 prongs. It is possible that the old 4 prong was a 5, 6, 7 or 8 prong at one time then got setback by timbering, mining or a wildfire and spent a very long time in dormancy. It would be nice to know how many growth rings your cousin can count of the root!
