| Dove Weed, Turkey
Mullein Eremocarpus setigerus
Family: Euphorbiaceae
(Spurge)
Habitat: disturbed
areas, grassland
Notes: This
is a native species that often appears to be 'weedy' due to its
preference for disturbed areas. This is one of the only species in
the Spurge family that does not have milky sap. While the foliage
is generally toxic to grazing animals, the seeds are a favorite
food for many birds.
