Definition Common cocklebur is an annual herb, with several regional varieties, native to North America. Historically, the seeds were eaten by the Carolina parakeet, which is now extinct. Plants can reach 5 ft. (1.5 m) tall with thick, reddish or black spotted stems. Leaves are alternate, triangular, weakly 3-lobed and 1.2-7 in. (3-18 cm) long. Flowering occurs in July to October when flowers develop in the axils of the leaves. Fruit are ellipsoid burs. Burs are 0.6-1.4 in. (1.5-3.5 cm) long, green to yellowish brown and covered with projecting, stout prickles. Cocklebur occurs in ditches, fields, riparian areas, pastures, croplands, seasonal wetlands and other disturbed areas. Seeds and seedlings are toxic to livestock. |
