This little weed can be identified by the tiny ray florets of the flowerheads there are only about 5 of these, far fewer in number than the tiny disk florets in the center of the flowerhead. Aside from 'Peruvian Daisy,' other common names for this species include 'Shaggy Soldiers' and 'Common Quickweed,' and Galinsoga ciliata is a scientific synonym by which this species is occasionally referred. There is another weedy species in this genus that is less common in Illinois this is Galinsoga parviflora (Lesser Peruvian Daisy), which is also native to Central and South America. These two species are very similar to each other in appearance and they prefer similar disturbed habitats. To distinguish them, the achenes of their ray florets should be examined

Slender annual herb, up to 30 cm. Stems densely covered in long, spreading, often glandular hairs. Leaves opposite with long glandular hairs, particularly on the underside; margin crenate-dentate to subentire. Capitula on slender peduncles, disk florets greenish to yellow; ray florets white, three-lobed.
Peruvian Daisy is occasional to locally common throughout Illinois; it is especially common in and around cities in the northern two-thirds of the state. Peruvian Daisy is native to both Central and South America; it has spread to North America, Eurasia, Africa, and some Pacific Islands (including Hawaii). Habitats include abandoned fields, roadsides, gardens, edges of yards, vacant lots, areas along buildings, and waste areas (especially urban). Disturbed areas that are left unmowed or are sparingly mowed provide ideal habitat.
