Dear Extension Office, Can you help us ID a weed has become common in our pasture? Please see the attached pictures. It has a complex 'snapdragon-like' flower, the lower lip is divided into 3 lobes. The stem -does- seem to have edges to it, though I'm not sure it does all the time and I cant say that it is 'square'. sometimes it feels rounder and then there might be an edge or 2 or 3 or 4, but it's not well defined enough for me to describe it consistently. The plant has a hairy covering on the stem and leaves. You can kind-of see this if you zoom in in the photos. It is slightly sticky. Roots are not very deep (see photo); it's easy to pull and get the entire root. It is just coming into bloom right now (early June) The spread of this weed has progressed in the last 3 or so years. We've taken time to handpull lots of these, but because we dont know what they are, we ask ourselves if it is worth it. My internet searches have really come up blank. At first I thought it might be in the lousewort family. Not finding any pictures that have flowers starting low down the column of the stem, I changed my thinking to the mint family. But...if there is a good online key that could help, I did not find it (or it had plant-anatomical vocabulary that I did not understand). I read that louseworts are at least partially parasitic. Whatever it is, I would like to know if it could be a problem in the harvested hay. My hope is that someone at OSU has seen this before and could just name it right off the bat. Thanks for your help, Dave
