Bassia hyssopifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae, known by the common names five-horn smotherweed, five-hook bassia, and thorn orache.[1] It is native to parts of Asia and Eastern Europe, and it is known on other continents as an introduced species, including North and South America and Australia.[2] It is a weed, invasive at times.[1]
The Latin word hyssopifolia (which also occurs in several other plant names, for example that of Cuphea hyssopifolia) means "hyssop-leafed".[3]
