Extract

Probably no range weed has received such immediate and widespread attention as halogeton (Halogeton glomeratus (M. Bieb.) C. A. Mey.) following the large losses of sheep caused by this plant in 1949. Halogeton was first identified in the United States from a specimen collected south of Wells, Nevada, in 1934 (5). Its poisonous properties were discovered in 1942 (7). The time and method of its introduction into the United States are unknown. It is known to be a native of the arid and semiarid plateau regions east of the Caspian Sea and to extend into northwestern China and southwestern Siberia and southward as far as the highlands of Afghanistan and northwestern India.
