Notes:
This is found from Auckland to as far south as S. [South] Canterbury, it is a parasite on clovers and other plants which it sucks on contacting, taking out all nutrient. For this reason it is considered a very bad weed and its seeds from one plant alone may establish 120,000 plants, so fine are the seeds thereof.
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.
