Hi all -
Does anyone know the word in Spanish for cottonweed (not cottonwood BTW)?
According to the only online translator that gave me anything - Babylon:
http://traductor.babylon.com/ingles/a-espanol/cottonweed/
This is what I got.
s. Tipo de varias plantas del género Froelichia cultivadas por sus espigas de flores blancas de lana
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Otra posibilidad, dependiendo del contexto será “anaphalis”...

Quizá exista un nombre coloquial, pero a falta de algo mejor “froelichia” debería servirte.
Suerte.
