It is considered a noxious weed in several states.[5][9][10]
Description
Ambrosia tomentos grows up to 3 feet (91 cm) tall. The deeply lobed hairy leaves grow to 5 inches (12.7 cm) and have toothed margins. Flowers are small and yellow and produce spined 2-seeded burrs. In addition to seeds it can also reproduce via its widely spreading roots.[11][6]

gollark: Also, for neat decorative things, and the very useful stuff you can do with neural interfaces.
