Ragweeds (Ambrosia), also called bitterweeds and bloodweeds, are a genus of flowering plants from the sunflower family. The scientific name of this genus is sometimes claimed to be derived from the Ancient Greek term for the perfumed nourishment of the gods, ambrosia (ἀμβροσία), which would be ironic, since the genus is best known for one fact: its pollen produces severe and widespread allergies.

  • Ragweeds (Ambrosia), also called bitterweeds and bloodweeds, are a genus of flowering plants from the sunflower family. The scientific name of this genus is sometimes claimed to be derived from the Ancient Greek term for the perfumed nourishment of the gods, ambrosia (ἀμβροσία), which would be ironic, since the genus is best known for one fact: its pollen produces severe and widespread allergies. However, the generic name is actually cognate with the name of the divine dish, both being derived from ambrotos (άμβροτος), "immortal". In the case of the plants, this aptly refers to their tenaciousness, which makes it hard to rid an area of them if they occur as invasive weeds. Ragweeds occur in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and South America. Ragweeds prefer dry, sunny grassy plains, sandy soils, river banks, roadsides, and ruderal sites (disturbed soils) such as vacant lots and abandoned fields. There are 41 species worldwide. Many are adapted to the arid climates of the desert. Burrobush (A. dumosa) is one of the most arid-adapted perennials in North America. About 10 species occur in the Sonoran Desert. This genus is not to be confused with Kochia scoparia, which also has the common name "ragweed".
  • Die Traubenkräuter oder Ambrosien (Ambrosia) bilden eine Pflanzengattung der Familie der Korbblütler (Asteraceae). Der botanische Gattungsname ist abgeleitet von griechisch a-brotos für unsterblich, vergleiche Ambrosia. Einzelne Arten der Gattung Ambrosia verwildern leicht, breiten sich sehr effizient und invasiv aus und sind schwer auszurotten (daher der Gattungsname). Einige Arten verursachen vielfältige Schäden für Gesundheit, Natur und Wirtschaft.
  • Las ambrosías (Ambrosia spp. ) son un género de plantas herbáceas o arbustivas pertenecientes a la familia de las asteráceas, nativas de Norte y Sudamérica, desde donde se han difundido por Europa. Comprende una treintena de especies de plantas anuales o perennes, que crecen en especial en regiones llanas, poco húmdas y arenosas. Varias de las especies de Ambrosia producen grandes cantidades de polen, que por su difusión anemocórica es uno de los principales causantes de fiebre del heno.
  • Tuoksukit (Ambrosia) ovat voimakkaasti allergiaa aiheuttavia kasveja, joita tavataan etenkin Etelä-Euroopassa ja Pohjois-Amerikassa. Ne ovat ruohovartisia, yksi- tai monivuotisia, pystykasvuisia kasveja. Kasvisukua, erityisesti marunatuoksukkia (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), on tavattu satunnaisesti Suomessakin, mutta sen siitepölyä kulkeutuu maahan vuosittain. Kasvi on sukua pujolle ja sen allergeenit ovat samankaltaisia. Toinen Suomessa tavattu tuoksukkeihin kuuluva laji on sormituoksukki (Ambrosia trifida). Tieteellinen nimi muistuttaa kreikan kielen sanaa ambrotos (άμβροτος), joka merkitsee kuolematonta, ja sopii siihen tosiasiaan, että kasveja on vaikea hävittää. Tuoksukkeja tunnetaan yli 40 lajia. Osa niistä on yksivuotisia, osa monivuotisia.

  • Ambrosia è un genere di piante appartenente alla famiglia delle Asteraceae. Il nome deriva dalla parola greca che indicava il cibo degli dèi. Sono considerate piante infestanti e ne esistono più di trenta specie in tutto il mondo. Hanno una apparenza molto ordinaria e pur essendo molto diffuse, passano frequentemente inosservate. Quasi nessun erbivoro le cerca e non ospitano molti insetti. Molte si sono adattate a climi aridi del deserto. Ambrosia dumosa è una delle piante perenni più adattate al clima arido del Nord America. Nel deserto di Sonora se ne contano circa 10 specie.
