Ambrosia coronopifolia TORR. & GRAY |
|
Fam.: Asteraceae / Composite Fam.
 |
| Synon.: Ambrosia psilostachya DC. |
| Genus: Ambrosia L. |
This species comes from America. Mainly in the region of Mannheim it found a new home. Since it is pollinated by the wind, it doesn't need colored petals to attract insects. Therefore it can hardly be recognized as a Composite. The male blossoms are sitting in the upper part at the stems. Of the female blossoms only the branches of the pistils are visible. |
