Name It Please

Last Fall I bought some blueberry plants from a local nursery. They were in one gallon buckets. This stuff seems to have come along for a ride in the soil in those buckets. It's spreading throughout my garden. Not a big problem as it's easily pulled. But I sure would like to know what it is.

It's called Asthma Plant (Euphorbia hirta). It is known to be invasive in some locations but not others. It is closely related to our native spurge family species, but thought to be a native of India. However, it is now found in a lots of locations in the southern US.
