8637. SICYOS L. One-seeded Bur Cucumber 



1. Sicyos angulatus L. Map 1964. Probably found throughout the state. 

 It prefers moist soil along streams in open woodland and in cultivated 

 fields. It is rare in the northern part of the state, becoming abundant in 

 cornfields in the Lower Wabash Bottoms where it is regarded as one of the 

 most objectional of all weeds because the spines of the fruit stick through 

 clothing, and in husking corn the hands of workmen are injured.
