We all know Gadaria plant from childhood. When the seeds are ripe, no one can escape them. The fruits are covered with numerous thorns and the children jokingly throw them at each other and they get stuck in their clothes. Its botanical name is Xanthium strumarium, which is a plant of the Asteraceae family. It is known by common names like Common Cocklebur, Broad Bur, Burdock Datura, Clotbur, Rough Cocklebur, etc.
Its plants grow 2 to 4 feet tall. Its entire plant is dry. Some branches are spread on its upper part. The leaves are 1 to 4 inches long, broad, often triangular, narrow at the base, and three-lobed at the apex. Male and female flowers are different and pale purple in color. The fruit is surrounded by numerous curved spines and the top of the fruit has two short pointed spines. Each fruit contains two seeds.
It is found growing as a weed in cultivated fields, along the coast, in beach sands, around water-logged areas, on field stubbles, roadsides and fallows.
Each fruit contains two seeds, which vary in size and seed dormancy. The larger seed grows in the first year, while the second, smaller seed grows in the second year. Thus, these types of special adaptations maintain their hierarchy.
Xanthium is derived from the Greek word 'xanthos' meaning 'yellow', and the plant is used to produce dye. The word strumarium means swollen or bloated, in reference to the nodular fruit.

The fruit is called Dutundi and Dumundi from the fact that it has two thorn-like edges at the head. While its fruits stick to the hair of sheep and goats, it is called Gadriu in Gujarati.
Its fruit is considered poisonous. "The whole plant has been known in America and Australia to poison animals, and quietly kill them," writes Mr. Watt. The bark exudes fine filaments.
