Alternanthera echinocephala

Alternanthera echinocephala, known as spiny-headed chaff flower, is a shrubby plant in the family Amaranthaceae native to the Galápagos Islands, mainland Ecuador, and Peru. Its relatively large spiny "heads" of flowers distinguish it from other species of Alternanthera found in the Galápagos.
