Introduced, cool season, annual, prostrate to more or less erect, more or less hairy herbaceous legume. Leaves are 3-foliolate and hairless on the upper surface, with terminal leaflets 10–25 mm long and 10–32 mm wide; leaflets are marked by an upper central blotch or a very wide shield occupying the basal two-thirds of the leaflet. Stipules are strongly toothed and hairy on the lower surface. Flowerheads are 2–5-flowered; the peduncle is shorter than subtending petiole. Calyx teeth are equal in length to the calyx tube and the corolla is yellow. Flowers in spring.
Introduced, warm-season, annual, erect or prostrate, tufted grass to 1 m tall. Leaves are flat, hairless (except for a few scattered hairs near the base) and usually have a pale midrib. There is no ligule. Flowerheads are an erect primary axis of racemes (to 22 cm long) with relatively short branches; with conspicuous hairs in the axils and along the racemes. Spikelets are 2.5-4 mm long and 2 flowered (fertile lemma smooth and shiny), with the apices ending abruptly in a short point or having an awn to 5 cm long. Flowers during the warmer months. Possibly a native of Asia, it is a common weed of disturbed areas, especially where there is excess moisture (e.g. wasteland, agricultural land, riverbanks, drains, shallow/drying swamps). An indicator of disturbed moist areas. A weed of summer crops. Produces palatable and good quality feed when grazed during early growth stages, but becomes harsh and unpalatable when mature. Toxic levels of nitrate can accumulate in the plant; this is especially dangerous when the plant is wilted and more attractive to stock. Rarely managed individually in pastures due to its low abundance in coastal pastures. Will decrease where dense ground cover is maintained over summer.

Canon EOS 500 SLR. Ilford SP4 125 film. This is the same comment as on the digital version but I felt it was worth repeating:
I have to admit to feeling awful taking this shot. But I know photography is ultimately about people, in all of their forms and circumstances. This was on Nathan Road in Hong Kong in amongst the Prada and Gucci shops. I dropped a couple of coins in his plastic tub and came over all embarrassed about it. It's difficult to reconcile the poverty along with the sheer glitz of the place, but there you are, our world in all its gritty reality. Having said that, I live in London and walk past homeless people all the time. Easier to ignore it at home eh...

"Dryas octopetala (common names include mountain avens, white dryas, and white dryad) is an arctic-alpine flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. It is a small prostrate evergreen subshrub forming large colonies, and is a popular flower in rock gardens. The specific epithet octopetala derives from the Greek octo (eight) and petalon (petal), referring to the eight petals of the flower, an unusual number in the Rosaceae, where five is the normal number."

Questa non è una storia come tutte le altre...potrebbe iniziare con un "C'era una volta"...ma sicuramente non ha un lieto fine...
In tempi remoti viveva in una bellissima dimora una regina severa e dallo sguardo austero, il suo nome era Lilith. Peccava di superbia e si sentiva superiore e più bella di tutte le altre creature viventi. Un giorno una divinità decise di punirla per i suoi modi e la trasformò in una bestia antropomorfa. La regina, piena d'odio e d'ira, iniziò a divorare i poveri malcapitati che osavano avvicinarsi alla villa. Divenne così il mostro del paese e si dice che ancora oggi dimori all'interno della magione, nutrendosi degli avventori. Ella viene chiamata la Divoratrice.

Beautiful federally-listed endangered endemic Hawaiian species. This is the prostrate form from Ka'ena, O'ahu.
Introduced, cool-season, annual, prostrate legume; may grow to 50 cm tall under good conditions. Leaves have 3 oval to heart-shaped leaflets; each hairless, 10-20 mm long and with serrations towards the tip. The stalk of central leaflet is longer than the lateral ones. Flowerheads consist of 1-3 yellow pea-like flowers in the leaf axils. Burrs are coiled and have hooked spines (rarely spineless). Flowers in late winter and spring. A native of the Mediterranean, it is occasional on floodplains and in disturbed areas (e.g. roadsides) on the coast where the soils are heavier and slightly acid to alkaline. Rarely abundant on the coast, but a valuable legume in inland low to medium rainfall areas. It is palatable and nutritious, and can provide some useful autumn-spring feed after adequate cool season rain. If consumed in excessive quantities it can cause bloat and photosensitisation.
O Jesus, behold our family prostrate before Thee. Once more do we consecrate ourselves to Thee - our trials and joys - that our home, like Thine may ever be the shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith. Do Thou protect and bless all of us, absent and present, living and dead. O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus - and our Mother - pray to Jesus for our family, for all the families of the world, to guard the cradle of the newborn, the schools of the young and their vocations. O Joseph, Holy Guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by thy prayers in all the necessities of life. Ask for Jesus that special grace which He granted to Thee, to watch over our home at the pillow of the sick and the dying, so that with Mary and Thee, Heaven may find our family unbroken in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Amen.

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.

Birding was slow and as I lay prostrate on my stomach photographing a macro of this dandelion in the middle of a field in the more remote and less used section of the park, I heard a concerned voice behind me ask, "Are you alright sir?"
Turning slightly I saw a man and woman, each on a horse, and I answered saying, "Well if you think that middle-aged man lying on his stomach out in the middle of a field photographing a dandelion is okay, then I suppose that I'm alright." They said, "Oh you have a camera?! I said, "Yes! But thanks for the concern!" We all had a good laugh.
They left more composed and less concerned and then I turned my attention back to this dandelion, which during my conversation with the riders had received some more attention from another visitor ( a hover fly) as you see pictured here. I'll shoot anything that flies. ;-)

66769 Prostrate Cancer UK at York Dringhouses with 4E04 1107 Mossend PD - Doncaster Iport container train.
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.

Achyranthes aspera
Medicinal, introduced.
Prickly Chaff-flower is an erect or prostrate, annual or perennial herb, often with a woody base, which grows as wasteland herb every where. Since time immemorial, it is in use as folk medicine. It holds a reputed position as medicinal herb in different systems of medicine in India. Stems 0.4-2 m, pilose or puberulent. Leaf blades elliptic, ovate, or broadly ovate to orbiculate, obovate-orbiculate, or broadly rhombate, 1-20 × 2-6 cm, adpressed-pubescent abaxially and adaxially. Inflorescences to 30 cm; bracts membranous; bracteoles long-aristate, spinose; wings attached at sides and base. Flowers: tepals 4 or 5, length 3-7 mm; pseudostaminodes with margins fimbriate at apex, often with dorsal scale. According to the Black Yajurveda, Indra, having killed Vritra and other demons was overcome by Namuchi and made peace with him, promising never to kill him with any solid or liquid, neither by day or by night. But Indra collected some foam, which is neither solid nor liquid, and killed Namuchi in the morning between night and daybreak. From the head of the demon sprung the herb Apamarga, with the assistance of which Indra was able to kill all demons. Hence this plant has the reputation of being a powerful talisman, and is now popularly supposed to act as a safeguard against scorpions and snakes by paralysing them.
Medicinal uses: Different parts of the plant are ingredients in many native prescriptions in combination with more active remedies. In Western India the juice is applied to relieve toothache. The ashes with honey are given to relieve cough; the root in dosed of one tola is given at bedtime for night blindness, and rubbed into a paste with water it is used as an anjan (eye salve) in opacities of the cornea. The seeds are often used as a famine food in India, especially in Rajputana, where the plant is called Bharotha (grass).
