It is also known as beggarticks, Spanish needles, or cobbler's pegs due to its propensity to stick to clothing. Besides these names, the burr marigold has several synonyms like tickseeds, brooms, black jack, and devil's-pitchfork. Some other common variants include butterfly needles, hairy beggar-ticks, or swamp marigolds.
