AKA: Kansas Thistle and Prickly Nightshade.
When mature, the main stem breaks near the ground and the plant rolls like a tumbleweed, widely scattering the 8500 seeds that each plant produces.
Occasionally, plants sold as tomato seedlings have matured into buffalobur. The name "buffalobur" dates back to the time of settlement of the Great Plains when the plant grew abundantly in the disturbed soil of buffalo wallows. Buffalo carried the burs great distances in their shaggy coats.
