Notes:
Also called couch, and blue, English, white or old man twitch or couch. It is one of the worst twitches of arable land and gardens. The underground stems are stout and vigorous in growth, the leaves are often lightly hairy, and always have a pair of leaves at the base of the blade. The flower stalk is about 2' [feet] high, and is except that the spikelets are set broad-side instead of edge wise to the stem.
Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
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 was a student of Canterbury Agriculture College (C.A.C), which is now known as Lincoln University.
