Species of Tumbleweed
Declinate bugseed
Declinate bugseed (Corispermum declinatum) isn't grown commercially but it is harvested from the wild for its seeds. It also grows as a weed in cultivated fields and is particularly prevalent in grain that is sown in spring and sometimes totally obscures the crop. In windy conditions the plant can act as a tumbleweed, blowing away and spreading its seeds.
Hairy bugseed
In general, these are erect annual plants with flat, thin leaves and topped with inflorescences of flowers with long bracts. Hairy bugseeds are native to North America and Eurasia.
American bugseed
In general, these are erect annual plants with flat, thin leaves and topped with inflorescences of flowers with long bracts. American bugseeds are native to North America and Eurasia.
Hyssop-leaved tickseed
Hyssop-leaved tickseed is a native of sand fields and migrating dunes, which means it is endangered by habitat loss. It is a straggly growing annual herb that can be mistaken for a Summer-Cypress. It used to be known as Corispermum Leptopterum and is noted for its unique autumnal purplish-red hues.
