groundsel
ephemeral
ephemeral 1. (in botany) An
annual plant that completes its life cycle in considerably less than one growing season. A number of generations can therefore occur in one year. Many troublesome weeds, such as groundsel and willowherb, are ephemerals. Certain desert plants are also ephemerals, completing their life cycles in a short period following rain.
2. (in zoology) A short-lived animal, such as a mayfly.
