What is a drum algae?

and tumbleweed is a shrub of the family salsola . The plant has between 100 and 130 species originally from areas of Europe, Africa and Asia. The builders colonize new areas by falling apart from their roots in the autumn and scattering the seed as they are blown by the wind. In the American West it became ubiquitous and then became with this area in public consciousness. In western songs and later in the film, the building appeared as a symbol of boredom, wasteland, emptiness and aimless wandering. The plant is able to lose so well this method that its seeds have not developed a protective coating or food stores in most other plants. In addition, Ttumbleweed's Taproot, which remains behind when the shrub breaks off to throw through the landscape, is almost impossible to destroy and grow a new plant every year.

Tumbleweed is considered a pest and invasive species. It has little if practical use at all. Young shoots can serve as food for horses, sheep and cattle, but they will only eat them inthe absence of something better.

Although the Ministry of Agriculture of the United States has intentionally introduced to some areas of the United States at the turn of the 20th century, in the hope that it can feed cattle at the time of drought, now classifies the plant as a harmful weed. Tumbleweed is strongly controlled in the United States of herbicides.

Some types of tumbleweed are used as food in certain parts of the world. salsola soda is consumed raw or cooked in Italy and Salsola Komarovii is harvested for food in Japan, called "land seaweed". The drum seeds can be used to make flour, but it is quite difficult to collect them.
