Don't know how it got its name but I can't say it isn't deserving. This "weed" has some very pretty flowers that are at most one centimeter across.
A pretty flower. I like the pollen speckles on the petals.

Very nice. Is the texture of the leaf really as rough as it looks here?

@Aayawa: It is an unusual looking plant that I'm surprised hasn't been "improved" by man. The toothed leaves encircle the plant and it rises straight up, often without branches. If it does have branches, they rise in a columnar way as well. Here is a good site for information: http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=TRLA10
