Timouria Villosa

Velvetleaf, scientifically known as Timouria villosa, is a perennial weed commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. This plant is characterized by its hairy stems and heart-shaped leaves that give it a distinctive appearance. It is often considered a nuisance in agricultural fields due to its aggressive growth habits. Despite its invasive tendencies, Velvetleaf has some traditional uses in folk medicine. Its ability to thrive in diverse environments makes it both a challenge and a subject of ecological interest.
