Bassia scoparia (Kochia )

Notes


I think of this as one of the worst weeds when trying to reseed an area. It germinates early crowding everything out and then waits until summer rain to produce abundant pollen and seeds. And then in the fall it can beome a tumbleweed further spreading it seeds.



Descurainia pinnata (Flixweed )

Notes


Typically not very aggressive.



Erodium cicutarium (Fillaree )

Notes


A prostrate annual that can form large showy stands of pink/purple flowers early in the spring but can overcome native seedlings if too thick.



Lappula spp (Sticktight )

Notes


An annual that seems harmless until it sets seed.



Salsola tragus (Tumbleweed Russian Thistle)

Notes


A spiny annnual sometimes called goatheads but different than Puncture Vine (Tribulus terrestris) also called goatheads.



Sisymbrium altissimum (Tumblemustard )

Notes


Annual that becomes a tumbleweed in the winter. Taprooted with large rosette of basal leaves.
