A North American plant with transparent stems and watery sap that grows in damp shaded areas.
From clear (transparent) plus weed (an unwanted wild plant). Named for its distinctive transparent or translucent stems visible in the plant's structure.
Clearweed is one of those plants with a perfect descriptive name—if you look at its actual stems, they're so full of water and thin-walled that light passes right through them like glass. It's nature being literal about plant names, which doesn't always happen.
