	Soliva sessilis
	Family Name:	Asteraceae
	Class:	C
	Other Names:	common soliva
	Why is it a noxious weed?	It produces very sharp seeds (burs) that can puncture skin and attach themselves to tires. It can out-compete perennial grasses of managed lawn areas. It dies back in the summer leaving open, bare areas, which contribute to its spread.
