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. 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.

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.

=== Anthony (Sir Drue's eldest surviving son) was aged 8 at the death of his father and was placed under the guardianship of Deane Tyndal, of Chelmshaw House in Great Maplestead, a zealous Parliamentarian, and one of the Parliamentary Committee for the Preservation of Peace in Essex. But youug Anthony was sprung from a Royalist family on his father's side, and his mother was a daughter of the celebrated George Goring, Earl of Norwich, the Royalist leader, so it is probable that he also was inclined to the King's side ; at any rate he conducted himself in a reckless manner, marrying aged 18 to Jane daughter of Sir Edward Barkham and immediately on his coming of age in 1652 negotiating for the sale of the family property, which he effected Feb. 1st, 1653, when he conveyed Dynes Hall to Col. John Sparrow son of John Sparrow of Gestingthorpe flic.kr/p/PsXdC for the sum of £6,000
After this transaction he completely disappears from the scene, and it is probable that he died shortly afterwards leaving a son Anthony Deane of Monk Soham
- Church of St Giles Great Maplestead, Essex
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

When I saw this at Oxley nursery I thought someone had been intrepid and found a new subalpine variant of Gardenia jasminoides, perhaps clinging to some rock face in Yunnan. Turns out it was a vegetative sport from G. jasminoides 'Radicans' at Kenthurst, a wholesale nursery on the northwestern fringes of Sydney, here in Australia. Judging from web photos, the flowers look pretty much the same as those of 'Radicans'.

Tilden Prostrate Sage (Salvia leucophylla) and a busy bee, at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, located up the road behind the historic Santa Barbara Mission in Santa Barbara, California.
Drosera arcturi is one of several native carnivorous plants in New Zealand, and distinguished by long erect leaves, unlike the prostrate, spathulate leaves of the other species. These were growing in alpine swamp near Arthurs Pass.
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.
Introduced, cool season, annual, semi-prostrate to erect, tufted grass to 1.5m tall. Flowerheads are open panicles to 40cm long. Spikelets are 1.7–2.5 cm long (without the awns), each with 1–7 florets. Glumes are 1.5–3 cm long. Lemmas are 1.2–2.5 cm long, hairless, 2-toothed and the lowest lemma usually awned, others usually unawned; awn, when present, usually straight, 15–45 mm long, inserted at about middle of lemma to below sinus. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, it is sown as a crop and/or forage on more fertile soils. It has slight aluminium tolerance; although this varies between varieties (Saia more tolerant). Has potential for high production of quality feed in the winter feed gap if fertilized. Sow mid-February to early April for all varieties. Can be direct drilled into kikuyu, but not till kikuyu has gone dormant. Don’t graze until plants are well anchored. Don’t graze below 5 cm for prostrate varieties or 10 cm for erect varieties for best recovery. Doesn’t recover from grazing once it has started to run to head. Can be susceptible to rust, and barley yellow dwarf virus. Produces feed earlier than ryegrass, but not as long into spring.
