Kochia is native to temperate and tropical regions of Asia, and to parts of Europe. It is naturalized and widespread in North America. Identification: Plants are 12-72" (30-182 cm) in height. Leaves are gray-green, alternate, and narrow, about 2½" (6.3 cm) × ¼" (6.3 mm). They are attached directly to the stems. Flowers occur in fairly inconspicuous spikes of 2-6 flowers, ½-2" (1.3-5 cm) long; individual flowers are about ⅛" (5 mm) across and yellow-white in color. This weed is common along roadsides.
