Dysphania pumilio
Also called Small Crumbweed, Australian Goosefoot, Tasmanian Goosefoot, Ridged Goosefoot
Clammy goosefoot is a small, sticky, aromatic annual herb native to Australia that has spread as a weed to roadsides, waste ground and lots in many other parts of the world. It is a weedy plant of disturbed ground rather than a garden plant, so it needs little care beyond sun and well-drained soil.
Dysphania pumilio (common names - small crumbweed, clammy goosefoot) is a species of flowering plant in the family Chenopodioideae.
It is native to Australia, but it is found in other parts of the world as an introduced species, often growing in disturbed and waste areas such as roadsides and lots. It is known from many parts of North America and Europe, and it was recently found in Iran for the first time, in the Māzandarān Province. It is thought to have first arrived in Europe with imports of wool from Australia.
