Porophyllum ruderale
Author's comments:
La Quirquiña es uno de los tres ingredientes vegetales de la salsa denominada llajua con la que se adoban diversas comidas en Bolivia y el noroeste argentino. Los otros 2 son el tomate y el locoto. Los vilanos de la quirquiña permiten el desplazamiento aéreo de sus semillas las cuales al azar de Eolo, germinarán en cualquier parte: rendijas en las veredas, alcorque del arbolado público, macetas de una terraza, jardines, baldíos y un larguísimo etcétera
