Centaurea solstitialis
3
Known to scientists as Centaurea solsitialis, yellow starthistle is considered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be among the top 10 worst weeds in several western states and covers tens of millions of acres. It can kill horses that eat it, and other livestock will eat only small portions of very young plants. The weed displaces other plants as it spreads, and turns prime grazing land into worthless weed pastures.
