Ragweed (Great ragweed) is part of the Asteraceae
(Aster) family and is notorious for the hay fever caused by their irritating
airborne pollen. The common name for Ambrosia trifida is Giant
ragweed and it is a coarse annual weed. The plants are usually hairy
and can grow to 3 feet tall, but are usually less than 1 foot tall, with
leaves deeply divided into many narrow lobes. Tiny, drab flowers
point downward and are inconspicuous.
