Notes:
Is an abundant annual weed in fields and waste places on the lightest kind of soil in both islands. Its leaves are so small and fine as usually to escape notice, and its flower stalk, 2" [inches] to a foot high ends up in a bunch of spikelets that have distinct awns half an inch in length.
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.
