Glandularia aristigera and Verbena tenuisecta), variously called the moss verbena, desert verbena, fine leafed verbena, wild verbena, tuber vervain, South American mock vervain, Mayne's curse and Mayne's pest, is a species of flowering plant in the family Verbenaceae.[2] It is native to Bolivia, southern Brazil, northern Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
