Notes:
These are also called wild tares and wild vetch, abundant in waste places and cropped fields throughout. The plants never occur in pastures because they are annuals and palatable to sheep & cattle, which eat off the young shoots and destroy the plants. Tares climb by means of tendrils and grow 3 or 4' [feet] high. They have pinnate leaves and reddish purple flowers about three quartes of an inch in length. These plants tend to choke corn crops in its young stages and as it matures it drags straws to the ground.
Specimen notes
Herbarium history:
This specimen is part of a collection given to the Allan Herbarium by Laurence Smith (Amberly office, Environment Canterbury). This was given to L. Smith in the early 1990's by someone in Port Robinson, Cheviot.
The collection is believed to have been collected in 1948, based on several specimens with fully written dates in the collection. We believe that JRK is a student of Canterbury Agriculture College (C.A.C), which is now known as Lincoln University.
