Small greenish flowers at the stem, mostly hidden by the leaves

Common name Florida pellitory Family urticaceae Life cycle annual Flowers greenish Light sun-part shade Annual weed in the nettle family, native to the southeastern corner of the U.S. It grows rapidly from seed, sometimes upright, sometimes sprawling, and produces inconspicuous greenish-white flowers from January to May, whose pollen is reportedly strongly allergenic. Not a bad weed in our Texas garden – so far at least.
