What is another word for tarweed?
Pronunciation: [tˈɑːwiːd] (IPA) 
Tarweed is a common name for several species of plants, including various species of the genus Madia and Hemizonia. However, there are few synonyms for the term tarweed that are recognizable to most people. One possible alternative name for the plant is resinweed, due to the sticky, resinous substance it produces on its surface. Another name that is occasionally used is gumplant, referring to the plant's tendency to produce a sticky sap. Native American tribes also have their names for these plants, including chia and kriya. Regardless of the name, these plants are generally regarded as highly resilient and hardy, growing easily in dry, arid climates and often serving as an important food source for pollinators and grazing animals.
