Types of Zygophyllum

Syrian bean caper

Syrian bean caper (Zygophyllum fabago) is best known in America as a noxious weed. Its long taproot is difficult to remove completely, and its waxy, oval-shaped leaves help protect it from herbicides. It is even illegal to sell in Washington because it becomes so weedy that it can outcompete native plants and impede agriculture.
