BROOM SNAKEWEED
Gutierrezia sarothrae

Considered an invasive plant. Cattle do not like it, so it grows unchecked. It is a sign of a disturbed landscape.
Very widespread in our area. It often grow in extensive patches, especially at road side and on grazed land.
Hopis sometimes used it for gastric upsets. Navajos once chewed the stem for the resin to put on insect bites and stings.
