DESCRIPTION:
Southern brassbuttons is a low-growing annual broadleaf weed with branching
stems. It is sometimes confused with lawn
burweed. The cotyledons (seed leaves) are long, narrow, and fleshy. The first
true leaves are divided into three lobes. Leaves on mature plants
are finely dissected and are arranged along the stem on short stalks.
The foliage is covered with soft hairs. Fruit consists of one flat
seed with short hairs on both faces. Flower heads are small and
yellow and borne on stalks. Leaves of the flowering heads are brown
at the tips. There are no prominent petals.
