What does stinkweed look like?
Stinkweed is known for its unpleasant odour, which has been described as a sour, turnip-garlic-like scent. Plants are between 5-60 centimetres in height, with smooth, erect stems that are often branched. The lower leaves can form a rosette, while the upper leaves clasp the stem.
