English term or phrase: cottonweed
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!

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

Suerte.
