Chamaesyce Ammannioides

Common groundsel, scientifically known as Chamaesyce ammannioides, is a common weed found in disturbed soils across the southeastern United States. This plant is easily recognizable by its opposite leaves and clusters of small, yellow flowers that bloom in the spring. While it may appear harmless, it is considered invasive in many regions due to its rapid growth and ability to outcompete native vegetation. Its resilience and adaptability make it a challenge for land managers and gardeners alike. Despite its problematic nature, it plays a role in supporting local pollinators and ecosystems.
