Introduced, warm-season, short-lived perennial, prostrate to semi-erect legume with a shallow taproot. Leaves have 2 asymmetrical, obovate to rounded leaflets, each 12-35 mm long. Flowerheads consist of 1-2 flowers in the leaf axils,
each with 5 symmetrically arranged yellow petals. Pods are linear, flat, sparsely to very hairy and 35-40 mm long. Flowering is in the warmer months. A native of North and South America, it is sown for
grazing and naturalized in frost free areas. It is suited to free-draining, lower fertility, acid soils
and cannot tolerate heavy soils or waterlogging. Not
recommended for fertile soils. Frost can limit spread. Wynn is the only sown cultivar. Seeds germinate and establish quickly and plants can rapidly grow and spread. Produces good weight gains in cattle, but old stems
have low feed value. It has low palatability for cattle during the growing season and is not readily grazed until grass quality
has declined sufficiently in autumn. It is not grazed by horses. Grazing management should aim to limit selective grazing during the growing season and maintain plants in a low radiating growth habit. Short
duration heavy grazing with appropriate rest periods is best to achieve this. Grazing periods can be extended in winter in frost free areas when grasses
are dormant. In areas with heavy frosts grazing should occur before first frost to avoid total leaf loss. Continuous heavy grazing leads to a decline in companion grasses, dominance by round-leafed
cassia and invasion by weeds.

Krameria lanceolata,a peculiar-looking little wildflower in Bauerle Ranch Park, Austin. Flower petals are irregular in shape, each petal about 1 cm long. The plant is prostrate and wooly, often hidden in other vegetation
Introduced, warm season, annual or short-lived perennial, prostrate herb with reddish
stems to 80cm long and a woody taproot. Leaves consist of 4-8 pairs of leaflets (4-12mm long); leaflets are dark green above and silvery-grey below; hairs mostly restricted to the midrib and margins. Solitary flowers in the axils are small, bright yellow and 5-petalled. Fruit have 5 segments each bearing short hard spines. Flowers from spring to autumn. A weed in pastures and fallowed cropping country. Often found around sheds, laneways and roadsides. In urban areas it is regarded as a nuisance weed on footpaths and playing fields. It easily attaches to machinery, tyres, animals and shoes aiding its spread. The spiny fruit can cause vegetable fault in wool and lameness to stock.

Erik Törner is a Tibet analyst from IM who last visited Tibet in January 2011.
”It was a cold time, hardly no tourists visit Tibet in winter time. On the other hand, as it is too cold to work for both farmers and nomads, they traditionally have a month of and go on pilgrimage. Thereby, all sights where filled with Tibetans, mostly from the countryside.
Dressed up for the occasion, and very curious to meet Westerners, they made it worth sleeping without heat or electricity in below zero temperatures.”

Native, warm season, perennial herb with prostrate or twining branches. Has an unpleasant odour like fish-based plant fertiliser when crushed. Leaves are alternate, stalked, broad-triangular, hastate and to 5 cm long. Flowerheads are or reduced to axillary clusters. Flowers are small and bisexual, with 5 perianth segments and 1 or 2 stamens. Fruit are dry at maturity. Flowering is in summer and autumn. Grows in grassy woodlands and sclerophyll forests. A very fast coloniser of bare or disturbed sites following summer rainfall. Useful as a stabiliser of bare soils.
Introduced, cool-season annual, stemless or short-stemmed herb to 30 cm tall. Leaves form a prostrate rosette to 50 cm in diameter; they are spear shaped, serrated, deeply lobed; upper surface hairless to hairy; lower surface white felted. Flowerheads occur on unbranched peduncles. Ray florets are yellow, ligulate and sterile; disc florets are dark, tubular and bisexual. Germinates in autumn/winter; flowers in spring. A native of South Africa, it is strongly competitive weed of crops, pastures, lawns and disturbed areas (e.g. roadsides). Prefers lighter textured soils of reasonable fertility and where there is a lack of competition. Grazed by stock, but is of lower value than many good pasture species. Can cause nitrate poisoning in sheep and cattle on high fertility soils; taints milk; causes allergic skin reaction in horses and donkeys. Best managed using a number of methods: competition, grazing, mechanical, herbicides. Maintain dense, vigorous pastures and minimise soil disturbance. Needs to be controlled in year prior to sowing pastures; control is easiest at the seedling stage. Combined knockdown herbicides prior to sowing, selective post-sowing herbicides or manuring of crops and pastures can be highly effective for control.

Situated in the Basque Country (Euskal Herria) in Northern Spain, in the Pyrennean foothills, this is San Ignacio de Loyola Country, for the Saint himself is reputed to have came here to prostrate himself in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary pointing the way to Aranzazu.
But before this became a shrine, the building was intended as a fortress, guarding a strategic mountain pass.
The choice for the location of the original fortress was purely defensive, as it commanded views over four provinces. Its purpose was to stem off invaders using the roads in the valley below, along the rivers Alto Urola and Oria. This military function is reflected both in the size (30 x 20 metres, too large for a chapel), thickness of the tower walls as well as in the small openings for the use of arms. The original plan provided in time of crisis, for a shelter for animals, on the ground level and for people accommodation on the first floor.
The origin of this structure is steeped in the legends of Basque Mythology, when giants threw huge rocks from the top of the mountain to erect this building.
This belief has to do with the fact that the sandstone material is allochtonous and originates from some distance.
By the 14th and 15th centuries the military function had gradually diminished when the tower was adapted to became a chapel. From this period dates the late romanesque window and Calvary,
The first documentary mention of of Santa Maria Antigua de Zumarraga dates from 1366 from the time of King Henry Ii of Castille. A century later, in 1482, a hard-headed local Abbot, Don Martin de Gurruchaga, challenged in a Court of Law Queen Isabella the Catholic for willful neglect of this parish church of which she was a patron.
Abbot Don Martin was the first to start keeping a book recording Baptisms, well before the Council of Trent institutionalised it. The most famous entry of this book is that of the baptism in 1505 of a local boy who made good - Don Miguel Lopez de legazpi - the conqueror of the Phillipines.
The vaulted roof is supported by six stone columns. The roof timber work is spectacular and is decorated with early medieval patterns of typically Basque anthropomorphic and geometric motifs. Traces of painted decoration were also found on the timber. during the 1967 restoration work.
A copy o fthe calvary (seen above) is regarded sufficiently representative to have a cast displayed in the San Telma Fine Arts Museum in Donostia-San Sebastian.
The church is still consecrated and mass is celebrated here the first Sunday of every month.

Prostrate hutchinsia (Hornungia procumbens), Mustard family (Brassicaceae).
Slopes south of Springdale, near Zion Nat. Park, Utah.
Prostrate or decumbent shrub, 0.1-0.4 m high. Fl. yellow, Aug to Dec or Jan. Lateritic gravelly soils, shallow soils over granite.
Introduced, warm-season, perennial, prostrate to erect, woody herb or shrub to 1 m tall. Stems are reddish, hairless, with weak opposite longitudinal ridges; they arise from rhizomes or woody crowns. Leaves are opposite, sessile, hairless, to 3 cm long and have many translucent dots (oil glands) that are easily seen when held to the light. Flowerheads are panicles or corymbose cymes. Flowers are numerous and 15-20 mm wide. Petals are yellow and have black glands on their edges. Styles are 3-branched. Fruit are sticky 3-valved capsules, 5 to 10 mm long. Flowers in late spring and summer. Found in neglected pastures, sparse bushland and disturbed areas. Tiny seeds spread by water and in soil, hay and livestock. Sticky fruits adhere to animals; long runners spread from crowns. Causes photosensitisation and numerous other disorders in livestock; animals tend to recover once removed. Established plants are very competitive and are best controlled by herbicides or, if suitable, by cultivation. Introduced insect (Chrysolina beetles) and mite (St John’s wort mite ) predators provide good levels of control in many areas. Promote dense, healthy pastures to compete with seedlings, which are not robust.
Introduced, warm season, perennial, prostrate herb to 60 cm tall. Leaves and stems are hairy with glandular and non-glandular hairs. Leaves are alternate, lanceolate, deeply veined and stem clasping. Blue to mauve tubular flowers (with yellow stamens and throat) arranged caterpillar-like in 2 rows on one side of the flowering stem (scirpoid cyme). Flowers most of the year, but not in winter in southern areas. Grows on a wide range of soil types. Predominantly in areas that receive at least 50% of average annual rainfall in summer. It is mostly a problem of run down pasture and disturbed areas such as cropping paddocks, roadsides and waste land. Regenerates from seed and vegetatively from pieces of plant and roots. It is spread by water, fur of animals and in the gut of animals. A weed which is toxic to animals, quite invasive and difficult to control. Causes chronic liver damage in cattle, sheep and horses; can be fatal. Cultivation encourages its spread by stimulating germination and regrowth of plant parts. Management requires an integrated approach including herbicides, productive pasture, grazing management and biological control. There has only been one biological control agent released in Australia, the blue heliotrope leaf-beetle. At high densities, leaf-beetles can completely defoliate blue heliotrope, with both the larvae and adults feeding on the leaves.
Introduced, warm season, annual or short-lived perennial, prostrate herb with reddish
stems to 80cm long and a woody taproot. Leaves consist of 4-8 pairs of leaflets (4-12mm long); leaflets are dark green above and silvery-grey below; hairs mostly restricted to the midrib and margins. Solitary flowers in the axils are small, bright yellow and 5-petalled. Fruit have 5 segments each bearing short hard spines. Flowers from spring to autumn. A weed in pastures and fallowed cropping country. Often found around sheds, laneways and roadsides. In urban areas it is regarded as a nuisance weed on footpaths and playing fields. It easily attaches to machinery, tyres, animals and shoes aiding its spread. The spiny fruit can cause vegetable fault in wool and lameness to stock. Becomes dominant when other vegetation is removed by fallows, droughts or overgrazing. Prevention of spread is the best control measure. Establish competitive pastures to outcompete catheads. A wide range of herbicides can be used. Grazing with cattle is preferred as photosensitisation, nitrate poisoning and staggers in sheep have been known to occur.
Introduced, warm-season, annual or biennial, mat-forming herb, with a deep taproot. Stems are prostrate, to 1 m long and arise from the one point. Branch leaves are about half the size of stem leaves; leaves are narrow-elliptic to narrow-ovate, 15–50 mm long, 3–15 mm wide and 4–5 times as long as wide.. Flowers are small (2.6-4 mm long), pink or white and solitary or in small clusters in the leaf axils. Flowering is from spring to autumn. A native of Europe, it is a weed of disturbed areas, particularly roadsides, wasteland, cropping paddocks, gateways and degraded pastures. An indicator of poor ground cover. Can form dense mats in newly sown pastures and is a weed of summer fallows or summer crops such as lucerne. Strongly competitive, it has vigorous seedlings with a strong tap root; mature plants inhibit the germination of many seedlings (allelopathic effect) particularly medic species. May be grazed by cattle and sheep, usually without a problem, but seeds can cause enteritis in all types of livestock; leaves occasionally cause dermatitis. Controlled with healthy vigorous pastures. Registered herbicides are available for control.
Introduced, warm-season, perennial, prostrate, climbing legume, with stolons. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each hairy, 1-9 cm long, round to ovate. The central leaflet has a longer stalk than the lateral leaflets. Leaf size varies with grazing pressure. Flowerheads are racemes of 2-5, blue, 5-9 mm long, pea-like flowers in the leaf axils. Pods are straight sided, narrow, flattened and 1-3 cm long. Flowering is in summer and autumn. A native of Africa, it is sown for grazing on wide
range of soils. Grows best on moist, fertile soils, but it will tolerate low fertility. It is tolerant of acidity, moderate levels of aluminium and light shade, but is sensitive to frost. Shaw is the only variety sown. Provides a good quality, high protein, non-bloating feed, it is of greatest value in late summer and autumn as the quality of pasture grasses declines. It is slow to establish and drought will kill it. Tolerates prolonged heavy grazing, but needs to be allowed to seed in the first and second year for longterm
persistence. Grazing pressure should be sufficient to produce a low leafy stand as undergrazed stands develop severe leaf disease.
Introduced cool-season annual tufted grass to 100 cm tall. Juvenile growth is prostrate, but stems are mostly erect or with a bend near the base. Leaves are 3-8 mm wide and sparsely hairy or with hairs along the margins. Flowerheads are large open panicles. Spikelets are 18-30 mm long, with 2 glumes as long as the spikelet and 2-3 fertile florets. Lemmas are hairy in the lower half, terminate in 2 fine bristles 3-12 mm long and have a bent and twisted awn arising halfway along their back. Germinates from autumn to spring and flowers in late winter and spring. A native of the Mediterranean, it is a common weed of disturbed land such as roadsides and non-agricultural areas. An indicator of disturbance. Not a major weed of winter crops, unlike wild oats. Because of its distribution it rarely needs control, but the seed has a short viability and preventing seed set for 3-5 years will virtually eliminate it from the seedbank.
Introduced, cool-season annual, stemless or short-stemmed herb to 30 cm tall. Leaves form a prostrate rosette to 50 cm in diameter; they are spear shaped, serrated, deeply lobed; upper surface hairless to hairy; lower surface white felted.

‘Alī ibn Ḥusayn was born in Madina some 22 years ago, on 5th Shabaan 38 year of Hijra. In some history books his date of birth is shown as 15th Jumada Awwal 38 AH. His mother was Shahr Banu the daughter of Yazdjurd II, the last of the Persian Kings before Islam.
The calm and peaceful life of the Imam was not to be tolerated by the Ummayad's cruel regime. They realized that the Imam was succeeding in his mission of spreading the message of his father Hussain (AS). The Syrian monarch Walid Ibn Abdul Malik had him poisoned. He died in Madina on the 25th of Muharram 95 Hijri. His eldest son Muhammad Ibn Ali al Baqir arranged the burial and laid him to rest in the grave yard of Jannatul Baqi beside his uncle Imam Hasan (AS).
He is known as Zayn al-Abidīn "Beauty/Best of the Worshippers". He is also referred to as Imām al-Sajjad "the Prostrating Imām" and Sayyid as-Sājjadīna wa r-Rāki‘īn "Leader of Those who Prostrate and Bow".
Maxims of Imam Zainul Abedin(A.S.)
As he was asked to define the greatest of people, Imam As-Sajjad(A.S.) said: The greatest of people is that who does notsee the world as great.
Before Imam As-Sajjad(A.S.), a man said: O Allah, make me do without people," The Imam instructed: This is not accurate. People are in the service of each other. You should say: O Allah, make me do without the evil ones.
The richest of people is that who is satisfied with what Allah has chosen for him

Imam Zeynel Abidin (as) behavior toward his Enemies- Jihad with character (Akhlaq):
~~~~~*****~~~~~
Incident 1
As a reaction people of Madina revolted against Yazid, after hearing the horrifying stories of Karbala from Imam Zeynel Abidin (as) in the year 64 AH. The people of Medina removed Yezid's governor from his post of governorship in Medina, Fearing for their lives, the Bani Umayyah started running away from Medina. Marwan bin Hakam had a large family of women and children and could not run away for his life unless he could find someone who would agree to house his women and children. Marwan bin Hakam approached several people including Abdullah ibn Umar bin Khattab but all refused to help him. Finally Marwan bin Hakam turned to Imam Zeynel Abidin (as) for help.
Marwan bin Hakam was enemy number one of the Holy Prophet (saw) and his family. As a matter of fact, the Holy Prophet (saw) had ordered Marwan and his father Hakam bin Aas to leave Medina as unwanted persons. It is the same Marwan who had fought against Imam Ali (as) in the battle of the Camel (Jung-e-Jamal). Marwan also was one of those who prevented Imam Al-Hassan (as) to be buried next to his grandfather's grave. Again, it was Marwan who had told Walid, the Governor of Medina in 60 AH to force "Bayah" from Imam Al-Hussein (as) in the court or to cut-off his head if he refused.
Despite all this, Imam Zeynel Abidin (as) agreed to help Marwan bin Hakam without any hesitation. Marwan's family stayed with the Imam in Imam's house for as long as they wished. Imam Zeynel Abidin (as) then arranged for them to go to where Marwan was. In fact, Imam's house was open for anyone who came seeking for protection at this time.
Incident 2
As for the behavior of the Ima`m toward his enemies, those who harbored malice against him, and those who wronged him, it was distinguished by kindness to them.
The historians said: "Isma`'il b. Hisha`m al-Makhzu`mi, the governor of Medina, harbored malice against the members of the House (ahl al-Bayt) , peace be on them, hurt Ima`m Zayn al-'Abidin, and cursed his grandfathers on the pulpits in order to seek nearness to the rulers of Damascus.
When al-Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik became caliph, he removed Isma`'il b. Hisha`m al-Makhzu`mi from office because of a previous enmity between them. He ordered him to be stood up before the people to take their rights from him. Isma`'il b. Hisha`m al-Makhzu`mi was very afraid of the Ima`m because he transgressed against him many times and mistreated him, so he said: 'I fear no one except 'Ali b. al-Husayn, for he is a righteous man, so the people will listen to his words concerning me.'
As for the Ima`m, he asked his companions and followers not to mistreat Isma`'il, and then he hurried to him smiled at him and said to him: 'Cousin, may Allah make you prosperous, what was done against you has displeased me and urged me to do what you love.' Isma`'il b. Hisha`m was astonished to hear these words of the Ima`m, thus he said with admiration: 'Allah knows better where to put His message."
( Hayat al-Imam al-Baqir, vol. 1, p. 35. Tabaqat b. Sa'd, vol. 5, p. 220).
Now, let's carefully listen and consider to his holy supplication for his enemies, and those who wronged him:
"O Allah, if any of Your servants should harm me in what You have forbidden or violated me in what You have interdicted, and if he should pass into death with my complaint or I come to have a complaint against him while he is alive, forgive him what he did to me and pardon him that through which he turned his back on me! Inquire not from him about what he committed toward me and expose him not through what he earned by me! Make my openhandedness in pardoning such servants and my contribution in charity toward them the purest charity of the charitable and the highest gift of those seeking nearness to You! Recompense me for my pardoning them with Your pardon and for my supplicating for them with Your mercy so that each one of us may gain felicity through Your bounty and each may attain deliverance through Your kindness!"(Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiya, supplication no. 39).
Indeed, there is no one in the history of mankind similar to Ima`m Zayn al-'Abidin, peace be on him, except his grandfathers. In his behavior he represented a matchless world of honor, nobility, and humanity.

The Treatise on Rights
Among the most important works in the world of Islam is the 'Treatise on Rights' by the greatest Ima`m, Zayn al-'Abidin, peace be on him. In it the Ima`m has mentioned all the methods necessary for man's conduct, developing his life, and building his civilization on foundations which lead to tranquillity and protection from anxiety, disorder, and the like.
The wise Ima`m carefully and inclusively considered man, studied all the dimensions of his life, his relationships with his Creator, his soul, his family, his society, his government, his teacher, and so on. He wrote for man these rights and duties and made it incumbent on him to conform to them. Hence man is able to establish an Islamic society which believes in social justice and has strong ties such as mutual confidence, love, and other means necessary for social development and progress.

LOL, not a very inspiring photo, but I was fascinated when I saw the pattern on these extremely tiny slime molds,with their "weak and prostrate" stalks (thanks, Doug!). I would never find slime molds like this on my own. So many of them look no more than a very small, coloured "brush-stroke" on a rotting log. However, when I happen to be following the footsteps of friend, Doug (dougwaylett), I know I can be so lucky. I just don't know how he finds them, LOL. This is a supermacro of this almost-invisible-to-the-naked-eye slime mold. Seen on Rod Handfield's acreage, near Millarville, south west of Calgary.
Thanks to Doug (dougwaylett) for the ID: Badhamia utricularis!
Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to round and 4-13 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are loose to somewhat dense hemispherical clusters (6-7 mm long) of 3-20 yellow pea-like flowers. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, it is found in pastures, woodlands, lawns and roadsides. Although it often occurs at reasonably high density in short pastures, productivity is low and it has a high proportion of stem to leaf. It is palatable and grows from autumn to early summer (very dependent on rainfall), but only produces useful amounts of feed in spring. Requires moist soil for growth, so tends to burn-off rapidly in late spring as temperatures rise and soil moisture often remains low. Growth increases with applied phosphorus as long as pastures are kept short in late winter and early spring, but the response is likely to be too small to be economic.
Asclepias solanoana Prostrate Milkweed or Serpentine Milkweed taken on Pine Flat Road, Sonoma County, California. These are the seed pods.
Introduced, warm-season, perennial, prostrate, climbing legume, with stolons. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each hairy, 1-9 cm long, round to ovate. The central leaflet has a longer stalk than the lateral leaflets. Leaf size varies with grazing pressure. Flowerheads are racemes of 2-5, blue, 5-9 mm long, pea-like flowers in the leaf axils. Pods are straight sided, narrow, flattened and 1-3 cm long. Flowering is in summer and autumn. A native of Africa, it is sown for grazing on wide
range of soils. Grows best on moist, fertile soils, but it will tolerate low fertility. It is tolerant of acidity, moderate levels of aluminium and light shade, but is sensitive to frost. Shaw is the only variety sown. Provides a good quality, high protein, non-bloating feed, it is of greatest value in late summer and autumn as the quality of pasture grasses declines. It is slow to establish and drought will kill it. Tolerates prolonged heavy grazing, but needs to be allowed to seed in the first and second year for longterm
persistence. Grazing pressure should be sufficient to produce a low leafy stand as undergrazed stands develop severe leaf disease.
Introduced, warm-season, perennial, prostrate to erect, woody herb or shrub to 1 m tall. Stems are reddish, hairless, with weak opposite longitudinal ridges; they arise from rhizomes or woody crowns. Leaves are opposite, sessile, hairless, to 3 cm long and have many translucent dots (oil glands) that are easily seen when held to the light. Flowerheads are panicles or corymbose cymes. Flowers are numerous and 15-20 mm wide. Petals are yellow and have black glands on their edges. Styles are 3-branched. Fruit are sticky 3-valved capsules, 5 to 10 mm long. Flowers in late spring and summer. Found in neglected pastures, sparse bushland and disturbed areas. Tiny seeds spread by water and in soil, hay and livestock. Sticky fruits adhere to animals; long runners spread from crowns. Causes photosensitisation and numerous other disorders in livestock; animals tend to recover once removed. Established plants are very competitive and are best controlled by herbicides or, if suitable, by cultivation. Introduced insect (Chrysolina beetles) and mite (St John’s wort mite ) predators provide good levels of control in many areas. Promote dense, healthy pastures to compete with seedlings, which are not robust.

Situated in the Basque Country (Euskal Herria) in Northern Spain, in the Pyrennean foothills, this is San Ignacio de Loyola Country, for the saint himself came to prostrate himself in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary pointing the way to Aranzazu.
The choice for the location of the original fortress was purely defensive, as it commands views over four provinces. Originally the fortress was erected to stem off invaders using the roads in the valley below, along the rivers Alto Urola and Oria. This military function is reflected both in the size (30 x 20 metres, too large for a chapel), thickness of the tower walls as well as in the small openings for the use of arms. The original plan provided in time of crisis, for a shelter for animals, on the ground level and for people accommodation on the first floor.
The origin of this structure is steeped in the legends of Basque Mythology, when giants threw huge rocks from the top of the mountain to erect this building.
This belief has to do with the fact that the sandstone material is allochtonous and originates from some distance.
By the 14th and 15th centuries the military function had gradually diminished when the tower was adapted to became a chapel. From this period dates the late romanesque window and calvary,
The first documentary mention of of santa Maria Antigua de Zumarraga dates from 1366 from the time of King Henry Ii of Castille. A century later, in 1482 a hard-headed local Abbot, Don Martin de Gurruchaga, challenged in the Law Courts, Queen Isabella the Catholic for wullful neglect of the parish church of which she was a patron.
Abbot Don Martin was the first to start keeping a book recording Baptisms, well before the Council of Trent institutionalised it. The most famous entry of this book is that of the baptism in 1505 of a local boy who made good - Don Miguel Lopez de legazpi - the conqueror of the Phillipines.
The roof timber work is spectacular and is decorated with early medieval geometric patterns and some anthropomorphic details. Traces of painted decoration were also found on the timber. during the 1967 restoration work. The vaulted roof is supported by six stone columns
A copy o fthe calvary (seen above) is regarded sufficiently representative to have a cast displayed in the San Telma Fine Arts Museum in Donostia-San Sebastian.
The church is still consecrated and mass is celebrated here once a monh.

Introduced, cool-season annual, stemless or short-stemmed herb to 30 cm tall. Leaves form a prostrate rosette to 50 cm in diameter; they are spear shaped, serrated, deeply lobed; upper surface hairless to hairy; lower surface white felted. Flowerheads occur on unbranched peduncles. Ray florets are yellow, ligulate and sterile; disc florets are dark, tubular and bisexual. Germinates in autumn/winter; flowers in spring. A native of South Africa, it is strongly competitive weed of crops, pastures, lawns and disturbed areas (e.g. roadsides). Prefers lighter textured soils of reasonable fertility and where there is a lack of competition. Grazed by stock, but is of lower value than many good pasture species. Can cause nitrate poisoning in sheep and cattle on high fertility soils; taints milk; causes allergic skin reaction in horses and donkeys. Best managed using a number of methods: competition, grazing, mechanical, herbicides. Maintain dense, vigorous pastures and minimise soil disturbance. Needs to be controlled in year prior to sowing pastures; control is easiest at the seedling stage. Combined knockdown herbicides prior to sowing, selective post-sowing herbicides or manuring of crops and pastures can be highly effective for control.
Introduced, warm-season, short-lived perennial, prostrate to semi-erect legume with a shallow taproot. Leaves have 2 asymmetrical, obovate to rounded leaflets, each 12-35 mm long. Flowerheads consist of 1-2 flowers in the leaf axils,
each with 5 symmetrically arranged yellow petals. Pods are linear, flat, sparsely to very hairy and 35-40 mm long. Flowering is in the warmer months. A native of North and South America, it is sown for
grazing and naturalized in frost free areas. It is suited to free-draining, lower fertility, acid soils
and cannot tolerate heavy soils or waterlogging. Not
recommended for fertile soils. Frost can limit spread. Wynn is the only sown cultivar. Seeds germinate and establish quickly and plants can rapidly grow and spread. Produces good weight gains in cattle, but old stems
have low feed value. It has low palatability for cattle during the growing season and is not readily grazed until grass quality
has declined sufficiently in autumn. It is not grazed by horses. Grazing management should aim to limit selective grazing during the growing season and maintain plants in a low radiating growth habit. Short
duration heavy grazing with appropriate rest periods is best to achieve this. Grazing periods can be extended in winter in frost free areas when grasses
are dormant. In areas with heavy frosts grazing should occur before first frost to avoid total leaf loss. Continuous heavy grazing leads to a decline in companion grasses, dominance by round-leafed
cassia and invasion by weeds.
