Now known as Dysphania ambrosioides.
An annual or short-lived perennial plant (herb), growing to 1.2m native to Central America, South America, and southern Mexico. As well as in its native areas, it is grown in warm temperate to subtropical areas of Europe and the United States.

Used as a flavouring for Yerba Mate. It has a strong, unique flavour, and can also be used in cooking. Although it is traditionally used with black beans for flavour and its antiflatulent properties, it is also sometimes used to flavour other traditional Mexican dishes.

This species is believed to prevent flatulence caused by eating beans and is often used to season them, and is also used to treat amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, malaria, chorea, hysteria, catarrh and asthma.
