Chromolaena odorata

More commonly known as Laos weed, this plant was introduced to Africa in 1937 as a cover crop and it has now spread throughout West Africa, particularly in deforested areas. From 2 to 4 metres high, it grows quickly almost anywhere, spread by its numerous seeds. In Cameroon, it is known as the suffocating plant because of its tendency to force out other plants.
