What is another word for cancer weed?
Pronunciation: [kˈansə wˈiːd] (IPA) 
Cancer weed is a common name for several types of plants that have been traditionally used for medicinal purposes. However, due to their invasive and damaging nature to other plants, cancer weed is considered a nuisance in gardens and farm fields. Some synonyms for cancer weed include milkweed, swallow-wort, dog-strangling vine, butterfly weed, and balloon plant. While these plants can have beneficial properties such as being a source of nectar for butterflies, their uncontrolled growth can lead to the choking and ultimately death of other plants. It is important to properly manage the spread of cancer weed to maintain the health of other plants in the ecosystem.
