This is an excellent prostrate Camellia growing to about 60cm according to the plant labeling. Mine is actually closer to 1.5 metres and I believe left to its own devices will grow to at least 2 metres.
Introduced warm-season perennial, hairless to hairy herb. Stems are prostrate and less than 15 cm long. Leaves are opposite, ovate, 0.7-2.5 cm long and 0.2-0.5 cm wide. Flowerheads are heads of a few to many, small (2-4 mm long), white flowers, with 4 petals and 4-5 sepals. Leaf-like bracts surrounding the flowerheads are nearly hairless on the upper surface. Flowering is from late winter to autumn. A native of South America, it is a weed of disturbed places, such as river flats, stockyards and roadsides. It is only abundant in hard conditions (sandy soils with low water holding capacity) where there is low ground cover or where there has been disturbance from ploughing or flooding. An indicator of disturbance and poor ground cover. Of little importance to livestock grazing, as it usually occurs in low abundance, is very low growing and produces little bulk. Control is rarely required, as abundance is suppressed with healthy vigorous pastures. Herbicides are registered for its control.
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.

HU: Kúszó boglárka
Another species of the Ranunculus (buttercup) genus. It's home is Europe, Asia and northwestern Africa.
Typical are the prostrate running stems. The plant grows very fast in springtime: one month after germination is enough for it to become a fully grown plant.
The plant loves roadsides, shores, wet meadows and floodplain forests.
Slightly poisonous.

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, 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, cool-season, short-lived perennial legume; stems are hairy and erect or prostrate with erect tips. Leaves have 3 leaflets on stalks of equal length; each elliptical to circular, 15-50 mm long, hairy on underside and usually with white crescent markings. Flowerheads are large ball-like clusters of more than 100 pink pea-like flowers (15-18 mm long). Flowering is from spring to autumn. A native of Europe, it is widely sown and naturalized; preferring well-drained, fertile soils, with pHCa greater than 5. Although it is cold tolerant, its main growth period is spring and early summer. A high quality, highly productive, nitrogen fixing legume that produces the bulk of its growth over summer and autumn. Performs best in cool coastal areas. Combines well with short-term ryegrasses and provides useful feed in the first 1-2 years of a perennial pasture. Can cause bloat. Oestrogen levels can adversely affect breeding stock, so check oestrogen ratings of available varieties. Rotational grazing or cutting to 7-8 cm minimises damage to the above-ground crown and will improve persistence.

Ganesh Chaturthi
By
Sri Swami Sivananda
SALUTATIONS to Lord Ganesha who is Brahman Himself, who is the Supreme Lord, who is the energy of Lord Shiva, who is the source of all bliss, and who is the bestower of all virtuous qualities and success in all undertakings.
Mushikavaahana modaka hastha,
Chaamara karna vilambitha sutra,
Vaamana rupa maheshwara putra,
Vighna vinaayaka paada namasthe
MEANING: "O Lord Vinayaka! the remover of all obstacles, the son of Lord Shiva, with a form which is very short, with mouse as Thy vehicle, with sweet pudding in hand, with wide ears and long hanging trunk, I prostrate at Thy lotus-like Feet!"
Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most popular of Hindu festivals. This is the birthday of Lord Ganesha. It is the day most sacred to Lord Ganesha. It falls on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada (August-September). It is observed throughout India, as well as by devoted Hindus in all parts of the world.
Clay figures of the Deity are made and after being worshipped for two days, or in some cases ten days, they are thrown into water.
Lord Ganesha is the elephant-headed God. He is worshipped first in any prayers. His Names are repeated first before any auspicious work is begun, before any kind of worship is begun.
He is the Lord of power and wisdom. He is the eldest son of Lord Shiva and the elder brother of Skanda or Kartikeya. He is the energy of Lord Shiva and so He is called the son of Shankar and Umadevi. By worshipping Lord Ganesha mothers hope to earn for their sons the sterling virtues of Ganesha.
The following story is narrated about His birth and how He came to have the head of an elephant:
Once upon a time, the Goddess Gauri (consort of Lord Shiva), while bathing, created Ganesha as a pure white being out of the mud of Her Body and placed Him at the entrance of the house. She told Him not to allow anyone to enter while she went inside for a bath. Lord Shiva Himself was returning home quite thirsty and was stopped by Ganesha at the gate. Shiva became angry and cut off Ganesha's head as He thought Ganesha was an outsider.
When Gauri came to know of this she was sorely grieved. To console her grief, Shiva ordered His servants to cut off and bring to Him the head of any creature that might be sleeping with its head facing north. The servants went on their mission and found only an elephant in that position. The sacrifice was thus made and the elephant's head was brought before Shiva. The Lord then joined the elephant's head onto the body of Ganesha.
Lord Shiva made His son worthy of worship at the beginning of all undertakings, marriages, expeditions, studies, etc. He ordained that the annual worship of Ganesha should take place on the 4th day of the bright half of Bhadrapada.
Without the Grace of Sri Ganesha and His help nothing whatsoever can be achieved. No action can be undertaken without His support, Grace or blessing.
In his first lesson in the alphabet a Maharashtrian child is initiated into the Mantra of Lord Ganesha, Om Sri Ganeshaya Namah. Only then is the alphabet taught.
The following are some of the common Names of Lord Ganesha: Dhoomraketu, Sumukha, Ekadantha, Gajakarnaka, Lambodara, Vignaraja, Ganadhyaksha, Phalachandra, Gajanana, Vinayaka, Vakratunda, Siddhivinayaka, Surpakarna, Heramba, Skandapurvaja, Kapila and Vigneshwara. He is also known by many as Maha-Ganapathi.
His Mantra is Om Gung Ganapathaye Namah. Spiritual aspirants who worship Ganesha as their tutelary Deity repeat this Mantra or Om Sri Ganeshaya Namah.
The devotees of Ganesha also do Japa of the Ganesha Gayatri Mantra. This is as follows.
Tat purushaaya vidmahe
Vakratundaaya dheemahi
Tanno dhanti prachodayaat.
Lord Ganesha is an embodiment of wisdom and bliss. He is the Lord of Brahmacharins. He is foremost amongst the celibates.
He has as his vehicle a small mouse. He is the presiding Deity of the Muladhara Chakra, the psychic centre in the body in which the Kundalini Shakti resides.
He is the Lord who removes all obstacles on the path of the spiritual aspirant, and bestows upon him worldly as well as spiritual success. Hence He is called Vigna Vinayaka. His Bija Akshara (root syllable) is Gung, pronounced to rhyme with the English word "sung". He is the Lord of harmony and peace.
Lord Ganesha represents Om or the Pranava, which is the chief Mantra among the Hindus. Nothing can be done without uttering it. This explains the practice of invoking Ganesha before beginning any rite or undertaking any project. His two feet represent the power of knowledge and the power of action. The elephant head is significant in that it is the only figure in nature that has the form of the symbol for Om.
The significance of riding on a mouse is the complete conquest over egoism. The holding of the ankusha represents His rulership of the world. It is the emblem of divine Royalty.
Ganesha is the first God. Riding on a mouse, one of nature's smallest creatures and having the head of an elephant, the biggest of all animals, denotes that Ganesha is the creator of all creatures. Elephants are very wise animals; this indicates that Lord Ganesha is an embodiment of wisdom. It also denotes the process of evolution--the mouse gradually evolves into an elephant and finally becomes a man. This is why Ganesha has a human body, an elephant's head and a mouse as His vehicle. This is the symbolic philosophy of His form.
He is the Lord of Ganas or groups, for instance groups of elements, groups of senses, etc. He is the head of the followers of Shiva or the celestial servants of Lord Shiva.
The Vaishnavas also worship Lord Ganesha. They have given Him the name of Tumbikkai Alwar which means the divinity with the proboscis (the elephant's trunk).
Lord Ganesha's two powers are the Kundalini and the Vallabha or power of love.
He is very fond of sweet pudding or balls of rice flour with a sweet core. On one of His birthdays He was going around house to house accepting the offerings of sweet puddings. Having eaten a good number of these, He set out moving on His mouse at night. Suddenly the mouse stumbled--it had seen a snake and became frightened--with the result that Ganesha fell down. His stomach burst open and all the sweet puddings came out. But Ganesha stuffed them back into His stomach and, catching hold of the snake, tied it around His belly.
Seeing all this, the moon in the sky had a hearty laugh. This unseemly behaviour of the moon annoyed Him immensely and so he pulled out one of His tusks and hurled it against the moon, and cursed that no one should look at the moon on the Ganesh Chaturthi day. If anyone does, he will surely earn a bad name, censure or ill-repute. However, if by mistake someone does happen to look at the moon on this day, then the only way he can be freed from the curse is by repeating or listening to the story of how Lord Krishna cleared His character regarding the Syamantaka jewel. This story is quoted in the Srimad Bhagavatam. Lord Ganesha was pleased to ordain thus. Glory to Lord Ganesha! How kind and merciful He is unto His devotees!
Ganesha and His brother Lord Subramanya once had a dispute as to who was the elder of the two. The matter was referred to Lord Shiva for final decision. Shiva decided that whoever would make a tour of the whole world and come back first to the starting point had the right to be the elder. Subramanya flew off at once on his vehicle, the peacock, to make a circuit of the world. But the wise Ganesha went, in loving worshipfulness, around His divine parents and asked for the prize of His victory.
Lord Shiva said, "Beloved and wise Ganesha! But how can I give you the prize; you did not go around the world?"
Ganesha replied, "No, but I have gone around my parents. My parents represent the entire manifested universe!"
Thus the dispute was settled in favour of Lord Ganesha, who was thereafter acknowledged as the elder of the two brothers. Mother Parvati also gave Him a fruit as a prize for this victory.
In the Ganapathi Upanishad, Ganesha is identified with the Supreme Self. The legends that are connected with Lord Ganesha are recorded in the Ganesha Khanda of the Brahma Vivartha Purana.
On the Ganesh Chaturthi day, meditate on the stories connected with Lord Ganesha early in the morning, during the Brahmamuhurta period. Then, after taking a bath, go to the temple and do the prayers of Lord Ganesha. Offer Him some coconut and sweet pudding. Pray with faith and devotion that He may remove all the obstacles that you experience on the spiritual path. Worship Him at home, too. You can get the assistance of a pundit. Have an image of Lord Ganesha in your house. Feel His Presence in it.
Don't forget not to look at the moon on that day; remember that it behaved unbecomingly towards the Lord. This really means avoid the company of all those who have no faith in God, and who deride God, your Guru and religion, from this very day.
Take fresh spiritual resolves and pray to Lord Ganesha for inner spiritual strength to attain success in all your undertakings.
May the blessings of Sri Ganesha be upon you all! May He remove all the obstacles that stand in your spiritual path! May He bestow on you all material prosperity as well as liberation!

"You call it, "Love lies bleeding,"--so you may,
Though the red Flower, not prostrate, only droops,
As we have seen it here from day to day,
From month to month, life passing not away:
A flower how rich in sadness! Even thus stoops,
(Sentient by Grecian sculpture's marvellous power)
Thus leans, with hanging brow and body bent
Earthward in uncomplaining languishment
The dying Gladiator. So, sad Flower!
('Tis Fancy guides me willing to be led,
Though by a slender thread,)
So drooped Adonis bathed in sanguine dew
Of his death-wound, when he from innocent air
The gentlest breath of resignation drew;
While Venus in a passion of despair
Rent, weeping over him, her golden hair
Spangled with drops of that celestial shower.
She suffered, as Immortals sometimes do;
But pangs more lasting far, 'that' Lover knew
Who first, weighed down by scorn, in some lone bower
Did press this semblance of unpitied smart
Into the service of his constant heart,
His own dejection, downcast Flower! could share
With thine, and gave the mournful name which thou wilt ever bear."
~ William Wordsworth, 1770-1850 ~

Introduced, cool season, annual, hairy, prostrate to ascending legume with branches to 90 cm long. Leaves are trifoliolate; leaflets obovate to obcordate, toothed towards the apex, densely hairy when young and sometimes with darker flecks. Flowerheads are 1- or 2-flowered. Flowers are yellow. Pods are coiled burrs. A native of Europe and western Asia, it occurs in pastures, disturbed ground, road edges, along water courses and on flats around swamps and lakes.
The prostrate stems branching from or near the base of the stem, along with the linear bracts subtending each of the flowers along an inflorescence spike that continues to elongate throughout the growing season, is distinctive of this species.
Since Moslems prostrate themselves in prayer, they remove their shoes for worship and it's important their feet be clean and the carpet stay clean.

This annual amaranth is often reported as forming a tumbleweed by late fall. Locally abundant in the Table Rock area, prostrate pigweed like other species in the genus requires sites with high levels of disturbance, such as alongside heavily used trails. The long attenuate spine-tipped flower bracts that surpass the length of the tepals enclosed distinguish this species from the similar Amaranthus blitoides. This site lies along the trail that leaves the neighborhood west of Table Rock, Boise, Idaho.
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.

Tsuga canadensis 'Cole's Prostrate' is growing well but may want a bigger pot. I adore the way it reaches below the step it is on.
Flowers have a heavy substance with a peach-like fragrance. Probably a good lei flower. Flowers blush red with more heat, more yellow in cooler weather. Plant is currently in a pot and beginning to show more prostrate growth instead of growing taller. Apparently, Penang Peach has been used in the breeding of the newer compact plumeria varieties.

St Peter and St Paul, Wangford, Suffolk
Wangford village stretches along a street which once carried the main London to Yarmouth road. It must have been hell. Today, the village is bypassed, and the road is a peaceful little cul-de-sac of the loveliest 18th and 19th Century houses, as well as a pub and a shop. The village is not to be confused with the ghost village of Wangford St Denis near Lakenheath, on the other side of Suffolk.
The church sits on the southern side of the street in as wide a graveyard as you can imagine. It rises above the flat expanse, looking quite unlike any other church in the county. The more you look at it, the stranger it appears, like nothing quite so much as a North London Anglo-catholic creation of the 19th century, decked out in flint and trimmed with Suffolk features. And that is almost exactly what it is.
The church here was, like most in Suffolk, pretty near derelict by the mid-19th century. It was all that survived of a Cluniac Priory, a cell to the mother Priory at Thetford over the border, but must still have been fairly substantial, even before falling under the patronage of Henham Hall. The Hall, now gone, sat in its park in the hamlet of Henham a bit to the south, on the other side of the A12. It is best known today for the Latitude Festival held in the grounds each summer. Henham was within the parish of Wangford, and never had its own church, and so it was that the Earls of Stradbroke, owners of the Hall, set about memorialising themselves here in Wangford church.
The architect was A. L. Blackburne. First, the whole building was demolished apart for the nave walls. Next, a tall beturreted chancel was added at the east end, and beside it in the 1870s, a grand tower. Dallinghoo, to the south, also has a tower at the east end, but that is because it is a former cruciform church which has lost its chancel and transepts. Here, the plan was deliberate, and successful. The top of the tower was finished in the 14th century Suffolk manner. So it sits there at the east end of the north aisle, while inside, the west end of the nave has a huge window, which may possibly be the refashioning of a tower arch. On the south side of the church, massive flying buttresses support the nave wall, perhaps necessarily or maybe just as an adornment.
Coming back here in 2017 after some fifteen years away, I was struck by the sheer quality of what was done here at Wangford. No expense was spared. I wandered around the south side, where to my surprise I found the beeman tending to hives in the south-east corner, moving surreally among the headstones in his beekeeper suit. I wandered around past what appears to be a Victorian rector's garage to the east of the church, and in through the north porch, which is the only other medieval survival. Its remoteness from the tower gives the illusion that you are entering the building from the wrong end. It seems to have had a side sliced off it by the buttress to the north aisle. You step into what, to all intents and purposes, appears an urban church, but one ruralised through the usage of the last century and a half. Because of the width of the north aisle, the long chancel appears offset in the south-east corner.
Either side of the chancel arch are two curiosities, a reading desk and a pulpit. They are said to have been brought here from the chapel at Henham Hall, and to be 17th century Flemish. Perhaps they were actually made out of Flemish panels taken from the Hall. They are glorious affairs of inlaid wood and varnish, with carvings reminiscent of ship figureheads buttressing the corners.
An image niche on the south side of the nave contains a memorial poppy from the Bloodswept Lands and Seas of Red exhibit at the Tower of London to commemorate a hundred years since the start of the First Wolrd War. At the west end of the nave a simple plaque of 1904 remembers Hilda McNeill, who lost her life while attempting to save a little boy from drowning in the Taw.
The sanctuary is still dressed in its ritualistic 19th Century pomp, with a mighty gilded stone reredos. Suffolk angels look down from the roof. Heaton, Butler & Bayne's four light east window depicts the Works of Dorcas flanked by St Peter and St Paul, the parish patron saints. Some excellent glass on the south side depicts two of the Holy Kinship, with the Blessed Virgin reading scripture to the young Christ on one side, and St Mary Cleophas reading scripture to the young Saints Jude, Simon and James on the other. It remembers Frederick Charles Bonham, who died at the age of eight in 1863. Unfortunately, no one seems to know who it is by. Clayton & Bell's early 20th Century window of Charity and the Works of Mercy is a little indifferent in comparison, but the 1880s west window is strikingly different to all, one of Suffolk's few windows by the Gibbs & Howard workshop, depicting Christ clearing the moneychangers out of the temple, Solomon building the temple, and the ark of the covenant being carried in the desert.
All around, the walls are lined with mementos to the Earls of Stradbroke, and as you might expect they are all high quality. But there is another memorial which is quite different. Up in the sanctuary, there is a charming little display of a tile inscribed with Jas Ife, Oct 5 1873 WANGFORD. It was recovered from the chancel roof after a repair. a note below it tells us that the 1871 census returns show James Ife living in Wangford village, that he was fifteen years old at the time he made the tile, and that he gave his occupation as a brickmaker. A rather different touchstone to the 19th century than the huge, fine building that contains it.
This plant can be prostrate, ascending or erect perennial, herb growing between 0.1-0.3 m high with white-cream flowers between Oct to Feb.

Introduced, cool-season, short-lived perennial legume; stems are hairy and erect or prostrate with erect tips. Leaves have 3 leaflets on stalks of equal length; each elliptical to circular, 15-50 mm long, hairy on underside and usually with white crescent markings. Flowerheads are large ball-like clusters of more than 100 pink pea-like flowers (15-18 mm long). Flowering is from spring to autumn. A native of Europe, it is widely sown and naturalized; preferring well-drained, fertile soils, with pHCa greater than 5. Although it is cold tolerant, its main growth period is spring and early summer. A high quality, highly productive, nitrogen fixing legume that produces the bulk of its growth over summer and autumn. Performs best in cool coastal areas. Combines well with short-term ryegrasses and provides useful feed in the first 1-2 years of a perennial pasture. Can cause bloat. Oestrogen levels can adversely affect breeding stock, so check oestrogen ratings of available varieties. Rotational grazing or cutting to 7-8 cm minimises damage to the above-ground crown and will improve persistence.
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.
This is a prostrate shrub growing to 0.4m flowering Aug - Nov in laterite soils.
The peas have been very special this year. Here are a few.

A low creeping or prostrate, evergreen shrub from South America. Bears elliptical to oblong, pointed green leaves and white flowers appearing in spring. These are followed by black-blue berries.
The fruits of macha-macha, an Andean species (Pernettya prostrata var. pentlandii from Cochabamba (Bolivia), are said to cause dizziness when eaten in excess. “The fruit has a soporific property. A tame monkey who ate the berries of plants I had set aside to preserve became totally drunken”.
Some species and varieties are considered toxic, Pernettya prostrata. may be known as macha or macha-macha, “drunk;’ in Quechua. This information, however, is questionable.
In Chile, Pernettya furens is known as huedhued or hierba loca, “crazy herb;’ and is said to cause mental confusion and possession .
Pernettya Pentlandii [1875 Curtis Botanical Print]
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, 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.
An easier day today, with everyone in refreshed after a good night's sleep and a lie in. A relaxed 10 am departure gave me time for photos of beautiful swathes of the pink flowers on the opposite bank of the Lham-chu, and a chirpy bouncy red breasted bird. Most trekkers aim to complete today's portion as part of day 2 - but to be honest I doubt any of us could have done that without getting to the jelly legs stage. The boulder fields continued, interspersed with patches of bog and mud, but eventually the going got easier and we got a sense of perspective when we encountered two Tibetan prostrating pilgrims on their kora.
We lunched at the new (large) tent camp in the meadow where the Tobchan-chu joins the Lham-chu (now known as the Dzong-chu), and then strolled along to Zutul-puk Monastery. Although the monastery looks old, it's one of the many that had to be rebuilt after the cultural revolution. That notwithstanding it was a lovely small place to soak up Tibetan Buddhism, and put me in mind of the dzong we'd visited in Bhutan.
Our river bank camp was a short distance further on, but it took us ages to get there as we were all distracted by super cute marmots. Unfortunately the rain set in shortly after we arrived, c3pm, and so most of the afternoon was spent drinking tea and chatting in the dining tent and snoozing in my tent - it was one of those times that I wished I had a good book to read! Antisocial, I know....

Merremia vitifolia
Synonyms: Convolvulus vitifolius, Ipomoea vitifolia
Grape-leaf Wood Rose is large twinning or prostrate herb. The stems are purplish when old, and grow to 4 m long. Leaf blade is circular in outline, 5-18 by 5-16 cm, cordate at the base, palmately 5-7-lobed. Flower-buds narrow-ovoid, acute. Flower tube is funnel shaped -6 cm long, glabrous, bright yellow, paler towards the base. Anthers spirally twisted. Found both in regions with a feeble and in those with a rather strong dry season, in open grasslands, thickets, and hedges, along fields, in teak-forests, along edges of secondary forests, on river-banks and waysides. Grape-leaf Wood Rose is native to India and Ceylon to Indo-China and the Andamans, throughout Malaysia.

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.
Māmane
Fabaceae
Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands
Oʻahu (Cultivated); Oʻahu origin, "papa" or prostrate form
Young plant; no flowers yet.
Early Hawaiians used the strong wood for posts, rafters and thatching posts or purlins in house (hale) construction. The wood was also fashioned into scraping board for olonā (Touchardia latifolia) and farm spades.
The wood was used as a superior fire wood.
The bright yellow flowers were used in lei making.
Māmane, or uhiuhi (Mezoneuron kavaiense), wood was also used for sled runners in a sport for the aristocrats called papa hōlua. The slopes were usually made with layers of grass or ti leaves.
Notes the Huliheʻe Palace website: "The person about to slide gripped the sled by the right hand grip, ran a few yard to the starting place, grasped the other hand grip with the left hand, threw himself forward with all his strength, fell flat on the sled and slid down the hill. His hands held the handgrips and the feet were braced against the last cross piece on the rear portion of the sled. The sport was extremely dangerous as the sleds attained high speed running down hill. Much skill was necessary to keep an even balance and to keep from running off the slide or overturning the sled. In competitions, the sled that went the farthest, won."
In more recent times, the durable wood was used in fences years ago.
The seeds can be strung on a beautiful permanent lei and flowers as temporary lei.
Soaked seeds produce a bright yellow to amber colored water and possibly could be used to make a yellow dye.
Wood is still used today to smoke meat.
