Ragweed
Ragweeds are flowering plants in the genus Ambrosia in the sunflower family Asteraceae. Common names include bitterweeds and bloodweeds. The name Ambrosia is sometimes claimed to be derived from the Ancient Greek term ἀμβροσία referring to the food of the gods of Mount Olympus that conferred immortality. The term might refer to the tenacity of the plants, which makes it hard to rid an area of them if they occur as invasive weeds. The genus is best known for the severe and widespread allergies caused by its pollen. Ragweeds occur in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and South America. Ragweeds prefer dry, sunny grassy plains, sandy soils, river banks, roadsides, and ruderal sites such as vacant lots and abandoned fields. There are 41 species worldwide. Many are adapted to the arid climates of the desert. Burrobush is one of the most arid-adapted perennials in North America. About 10 species occur in the Sonoran Desert.
Ragweed
Ragweeds are flowering plants in the genus Ambrosia in the aster family, Asteraceae. They are distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, especially North America, where the origin and center of diversity of the genus are in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Several species have been introduced to the Old World and some have naturalized and have become invasive species. Ragweed species are expected to continue spreading across Europe in the near future in response to ongoing climate change.Other common names include bursages and burrobrushes. The genus name is from the Greek ambrosia, meaning "food or drink of immortality".Ragweed pollen is notorious for causing allergic reactions in humans, specifically allergic rhinitis. Up to half of all cases of pollen-related allergic rhinitis in North America are caused by ragweeds.The most widespread species of the genus in North America is Ambrosia artemisiifolia.
