Asclepias is a genus of herbaceous, perennial, flowering plants known as milkweeds, named for their latex, a milky substance containing cardiac glycosides termed cardenolides, exuded where cells are damaged.[3][4][5] Most species are toxic to humans and many other species, primarily due to the presence of cardenolides, although, as with many such plants, there are species that feed upon them (i.e. leaves) and from them (i.e. nectar). The genus contains over 200 species distributed broadly across Africa, North America, and South America.[6] It previously belonged to the family Asclepiadaceae, which is now classified as the subfamily Asclepiadoideae of the dogbane family, Apocynaceae.

$Low to short hairy annual or biennial; hairs whitish or reddish. Lower leaves stalked, upper unstalked, the leaflets linear-oblong; stipules lanceolate, pointed. Flowers whitish or pinkish, 4mm long, numerous, in dense oblong or egg-shaped, stalked, silky-hairy heads, the petals much shorter than the calyx. Pod 1 seeded.\nHabitat: Dry grasslands, often on slightly acid soils, field borders, grassy heaths, road verges, woodland pathways, waste places, sometimes on sand dunes, at low attitudes.\nFlowering Season: June-September.\nDistribution: Throughout Europe, except the extreme North.\n\nThis is a common Species on the described Habitats in the Netherlands.$
