EorayMel posted:Ah, I think I got it now even with the plant subtitle cut off. It fully reads "a cousin to the Shepard's Purse." "There is nothing so innately satisfying as to be able to eat one's enemy." tempted to see if this gent wrote any other botanical treatises

Sorry about the lack of updates. Here's creeping jenny. It sounds like it would team up with Sheep Sorrel. Uncle Sam wants YOU to hoe underneath it!

Creeping Jenny, that hussy! It seems to be similar and possibly related to Creeping Charlie, which I have growing on the side on my house. I never thought to get rid of it because it's not getting in the way of anything and is quite a pretty, little, flowering vine.

Have a double excerpt. The first is Sweet Clover, which it partially name dropped me in the technical description, and then Wild Bean Vine, where the book fully name dropped itself! Multiple times, at the end of the plant roast, even!

This thread is like a weed: you think you have finally killed it, but then another instance pops up when you least expected it! And in this case, the cocklebur!

Here is the page, cropped to show the weeds in question. If nobody else finds one of interest here, I'll pick one at random:

Lacey posted:I think he has his mallows mixed up because Common Mallow is usually Malva neglecta. And they're good eating! The leaves can substitute for spinach in a salad. The cheese-wheel-looking seeds are high in fat and protein and very mild. It's an insult to lump in with burrs. The writer seems to think "weed" is synonymous with "hardy and not a cash crop" By definition, a weed is any plant growing in an undesirable or unwanted place. Perhaps the author had some property invaded by the mallow and held enough contempt to lump it in with other true to name weeds in this book, like the enemy wild garlic and filthy communist sheep sorrel. Or maybe the scientific names/classification changed over time
