The name is based on the ancient and honorable appellation of Gutierrez (a Spanish botanist, in this instance), but you would never know that by hearing it bandied about by botanists. You might think it should be Goo-tyAIR-ess-eea, following the principle of simply tacking an \u201cia\u201d onto a proper name. However, most botanists in our area say \u201cGoot-ur-EEZ-eea,\u201d or \u201cGoot-ur-EET-zia.\u201d Ranchers pronounce it \u201csnakeweed.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6370\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/gutsar1.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/gutsar1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/gutsar1-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small\"><i>Gutierrezia sarothrae<\/i> in full bloom.
