Anemone are perennials that have basal leaves with long leaf-stems that can be upright or prostrate. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided leaf blades. The leaf margins are toothed or entire.
Flowers with 4-27 sepals are produced singly, in cymes of 2-9 flowers, or in umbels, above a cluster of leaf- or sepal-like bracts. Sepals may be any color. They are bisexual 10 to 200 stamens and many simple pistils. The pistils have one ovule. The flowers have nectaries, but petals are missing in the majority of species.
The fruits are ovoid to obovoid shaped achenes that are collected together in a tight cluster, ending variously lengthened stalks; though many species have sessile clusters terminating the stems. The achenes are beaked and some species have feathery hairs attached to them

Occasional and locally abundant in the Bozeman area, prostrate pigweed like other species in the genus requires sites with high levels of disturbance, such as this site that was recently landscaped. The long attenuate spine-tipped flower bracts that surpass the length of the tepals enclosed distinguish this species from the similar Amaranthus blitoides. This site lies along West Harrison Street on the Montana State University campus, Bozeman.

After hiking up to 3 temples and prostrating for our New Year wishes before lunch time, we said goodbye to Haa to move back to Paro and wind our trip--and the year 2012--down. We passed through Chelala at 13,083 feet with a view of Jumolhari, the highest peak of Bhutan. We also made a stop at the base of the Kiligoempa Temple at this prayer wheel which spins from the water pressure but is currently on pause because of the day's icy conditions this high up. Happy New Year to all of you from Bhutan!!!

Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to ovate and 8-16 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are dense, rounded clusters (8-15 mm long) of 20-40 yellow, inflated, pea-like flowers. Pods are oblong and 1-2 mm long. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, the Mediterranean and West Asia, it is found in pastures, woodlands and roadsides; although more common on roadsides than in grazed pastures.
