Prostrate Kowhai (Sophora prostrata), a low-growing, ground-hugging shrub with a divaricating growth habit. Native to rocky areas of the eastern South Island of New Zealand, it bears golden flowers in spring. Available as a stock photo at Country, Farm and Garden Photo Library ( www.cfgphoto.com/ ).
Native, warm-season, perennial herb. Stems are weak, prostrate to erect and to 15 cm tall. Leaves are opposite (usually one larger than the other), hairless to hairy, 2-7 cm long and paler underneath. Flowerheads are usually more than 2-flowered. Flowers are trumpet-shaped, with 5 blue petals that form a tube 6–12 mm long and have lobes 2–9 mm long. Flowering is from spring to early winter. Found in moister and/or shady areas of floodplains, stream banks, woodlands and forests.
Introduced, warm-season, annual, prostrate to ascending, sparsely hairy herb to 60 cm tall. White latex appears where the plant is broken. Leaves are 0.6-3 cm long, opposite, and have 3 strong longitudinal veins, with reddish brown markings mostly along the central vein. Flowerheads are loose clusters of tiny “flowers”, with white or pink petal-like appendages. Flowering is in summer. A native of the Americas, it is found in dry disturbed; often on sandy soils. A minor weed of roadsides and waste areas. Little other information is available about its importance or management in NSW.

It's prostrate, it's pallid and yellow-green, it's insignificant-looking, it's short-lived, it's probably not going to win any flower beauty contests as it doesn't even have petals. But I'm happy to say it's sprawling around my patch quite a lot. It's . . . Lesser Chickweed!
Native, warm season, perennial, prostrate, spreading herb to 30 cm diameter, developing a thick rootstock. Leaves are circular to ovate with toothed margins, 1–3 cm long, whitish and felt-like below; main veins sunken, giving a ‘corrugated’ appearance. Flowers are yellow, with 5 petals, each petal 4–5 mm long; borne on slender stalks from leaf axils. Fruits are flattened, globular, about 5 mm across, consisting of 5–10 wedge-shaped mericarps. Flowering is mainly in spring, but also in summer after favourable rains. Found in most vegetation communities. Grows on a variety of soil types, including sands and clays. Extremely drought tolerant. Grows throughout the warmer months of the year following suitable rainfall. Provides palatable forage for stock. Useful groundcover - protects soil. Provides pollen for native insects.
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.
