Extract

The Russian thistle (Salsola kali L. var. tenuifolia Tausch) called in some parts of México “saladilla” is an important weed in the dry regions of the United States. It was introduced in 1873 or 1874 to South Dakota and from there migrated to the West and Southwest, reaching California between 1892 and 1895, where it constitutes a serious problem.
