Types of Priva

Catstongue

Catstongue (*Priva lappulacea*) is a hairy herb native to Central and South America, as well as a few tropical regions in North America. Surprisingly, it can grow quite well in both moist and arid environments. The hooked hairs on its small fruits cause them to stick to fur and clothing. Catstongue has become an ecologically hazardous invasive species in the Galápagos Islands.

Priva adhaerens

The priva adhaerens grows tall, with straight or curved spines and long, hooked hairs that appear across the plant that make it distinctive. It produces a dense crop of nutlets. It grows in warm, dry climates at sea level and on hillsides.
