Notes:
This weed grows in my yard near Pittsburgh PA. It is a terrible nuisance since it sticks to clothing and can hurt, even through bluejeans or a shirt. The edge of the oval leaf feels a bit jagged. It grows mainly in disturbed soil. Mowing before it seeds is the best way I have found to keep it somewhat under control. The burs are stickiest at the later green stage then the brown stage of the bur. I would appreciate an exact identification of this plant please. Thank you for your help.

May be a species of Stickseed in the Hakelia genus. I am guessing this might be Hackelia virginiana? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackelia_virginiana
