Xanthium spinosum invasive in Kashmir<\/a>: Xanthium spinosum<\/font><\/b><\/i> L., Sp. pl. 2:987. 1753
syn: Xanthium ambrosioides<\/i> Hooker & Arnott <\/span><\/div>\n
Common names: Bathurst-bur, prickly burweed, spiny cocklebur<\/b> <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A South American plant having become invasive in many parts of Old World.
Perhaps a recent introduction in Kashmir, where it has become common along roadsides and waste places.<\/font> <\/div>\n
Annual plant, up to 1 m tall, often much branched; nodes with spines in pairs, simple or 2-3 partite, 1.5-4 cm long; leaves ovate or ovate-lanceolate, 4-8 cm long, up to 5 cm broad, often 3-7-lobed, shining green on upper surface, gray or white beneath; heads globose, in racemes, lower usually pistillate, upper functionally male; burs enclosing cypselae, prickly, 10-15 mm long.<\/font> <\/div>\n
Photographed from Balgarden (July) and Harwan (August) in Kashmir<\/font>. I had photographed it last year also but then it was in vegetative state. Was able to get flowers and fruits this year.\n<\/div>\n
