Abstract

The actual knowledge about Ambrosia maritima is reviewed with emphasis on recent developments in the fields of plant morphology and taxonomy, the molluscicidal principles — the sesquiterpene lactones — present in the plant and the effects on snails and on non-target organisms. The use of the plant in traditional medicine is also discussed. Areas where more research is needed are outlined.
