WOW! There ARE many species. After much searching, I think I have Texas Groundsel in my cabin yard. https://foragefax.tamu.edu/201.... Leaf is right shape; bloom clusters look the same. If so, it's a good thing it's not in the pasture (yet), as it appears to be toxic to livestock (we lease our pasture for Brangus grazing). When it comes up in the fenced cabin yard, I just pull it up, because the sandy soil releases the roots with a light tug. I hate to, because I think it's pretty. But if it ever spreads to the pasture, we'll have to treat the pasture with a targeted herbicide to get rid of it.
