alsemambrosia
Volgens die NL Wikipedia heet dit alsemambrosia in Nederlands. Die EN Wikipedia gee 'n horde name vir die plant, maar wormwood is een van hulle, en die Afrikaans in Pharos EN/AF vir wormwood is alsemkruid. Die woord alsemkruid verwys egter ook na die absintplant, en ek dink 'n mens kan dus maar maak soos die kaaskoppe en alsem plak aan die plant se algemene naam, ambrosia.

: Yes, but kruiskruid is used as a generic term for any number of weeds, including groundsel, ragwort, cankerweed, etc (according to Pharos EN/AF dictionary).
