South America, may occur on roadsides or wastelands in urban areas
and grows to 0.6-1m in height, with a unique smell all over. Leaves
are alternate, 3-10cm-long long oblong, with coarse serrations on
margins and many pale yellow glandular dots on back surfaces. Branch
tips set many green flowers in a conical way. The spikes have
leaf-like bracts and mingle-together bisexual and female flowers.
