a genus of plants commonly known as cockleburs with spiny burrs

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The xanthium plant produces spiny burrs that easily attach to animal fur and human clothing. Farmers consider xanthium a troublesome weed that competes with crops for nutrients and water.

The xanthium seeds contain oils that have been studied for potential medicinal and industrial uses.
