Comments
Commonly found in the Ozarks and prairie regions of Missouri in open woodlands, savannas, glades, prairies and roadsides. Occasionally used in seeding mixes, the deep-rooted perennial withstands some grazing. It?s also called devil?s shoe lace because of the small prickles on older stems. Plant tends to creep across the ground and over nearby vegetation. Sensitive briar is a good food source for wildlife and nectar source for insects. Despite the prickly stems, cattle forage readily on this species.
