The Sonoran Desert has thousands of native plants that are desirable in our environment, but other species can thrive here as well, making them invasive and undesirable. Stinknet (Oncosiphon pilulifer) is one of them. This groundcover that originated in South African and Lesotho can take over large areas, competing for resources with native plants and creating a fire hazard, and allergic reactions among other concerns.
