1. groundsel

   Groundsel is a common name for a plant that belongs to the genus Senecio, family Asteraceae. These plants are usually found in areas with a temperate climate and may appear as annuals, perennials, climbers, shrubs, or trees. Some common characteristics of groundsel plants are their typically yellow flowers and pappus of the fruit serving as a parachute, which allows seeds to be dispersed by the wind. Despite some species being toxic, others are used in traditional medicine.
