janinilulu said: Google suggests it is One-Seeded Bur Cucumber (Sicyos angulatus)

Sicyos angulatus, the one seed bur cucumber or star-cucumber is an annual vine in the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae, native to eastern North America.

Hmmm....
Cool, Thanks!

Grain importation is the most likely pathway of accidental introduction of S. angulatus, considering the situation in Japan, France or Norway


I think this is how it came to my house too... There were a number of seedpods that looked like cocklebur in the corn from tractor supply...

In its native range, S. angulatus grows mainly on riverbanks or in thickets. In its introduced range, it is mainly found on riverbanks or soils close to rivers ...
This plant grows mostly as a weed of maize crops, but can also colonize soybeans...
