👉 Parthenium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cyperaceae, native to several temperate and subtropical regions worldwide. They are commonly known as 'parthenos' or 'partheniums', due to their resemblance to flowers. These plants have a long tubular stem that can grow up to 3 meters tall, with leaves that are sometimes sessile (not attached to the ground) and often appear on the stems at various stages of growth.
