Galinsoga parviflora (weed) Cav. - (smallflower galinsoga)
The weed is considered to be native to South America and now has a worldwide distribution. It is an important weed on sandy to loamy soils, affecting potatoes and low-growing vegetable crops like carrots, onions or lettuce. The weed requires sufficient light and is sensitive to freezing. It is self or insect pollinated and propagates only by seeds.
The plant grows to a height of around 20 cm with small flowers (about 5 mm in diameter) and 4-5 white "petals". It has a taproot and is very similar to Galinsoga quadriradiata, but has shorter "petals", three-toothed paleae and is less hairy.
