blue rat's tail

stachytarpheta cayennensis

A noxious weed by Tongan law since 1933. Originally from tropical America, but worldwide now already for ages. Once established difficult to eradicate because of its strong roots, but luckily not a quick spreader. Also known as stachytarpheta urticifolia.
