Notes:
This is abundant in waste places, gardens & fields everywhere. It is a short-lived annual with a tap root, a flat rosetta of jagged edged leaves, a flowering stem 6 inches to a foot high, and a crowded tuft of long white flowers at the end of each stalk. As the flowers fade their place is taken by the fruits each of which are more scattered on the stem, and each of which is heart-shaped, with the notch turned outwards. Hung up by its stalk the fruit is not unlike a shepards wallet.

Herbarium history:
This collection is part of a collection given to the Allan Herbarium via 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.
