Pectis prostrata, the spreading cinchweed, is a summer blooming annual plant of the genus Pectis. The development of roads and highways has created ideal habitats for Pectis prostrata. Its range is expanding along the coasts of Florida, it was recently discovered in Louisiana. It is expected to spread along the Gulf Coast and also northward along the Atlantic Coast.
