Notes:
Is commonly called rib grass, lambs tongue, horse plantain & soldiers. It is common in pastures and waste places through out N.Z.. It forms a rosette of Lanceolate leaves about 6"[inches] long, with prominent parallel or converging veins, giving the name "rib grass". From the rosette rises the slender flower stalk a foot or more in length with a crowded mass of tiny brown or black flowers at its tip. The seeds, in shape and colour like date stones are a common impurity in such seeds as red clover.
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.
