WATER HYACINTH WOES
The water hyacinth’s leaves are a source of vitamins A, B1 and B2 and betacarotene. They contain 18.7% protein, 17.1% fiber and 36.6% carbohydrates.

There are some dozen and a half cultivars now. (Cultivars are made by man, varieties are made by nature.) The Dutch Phaseolus coccineus v. alba has white flowers. The “Butler” is stringless, “Painted Lady” has red and white flowers, the “Kelvedon Wonder” is an early variety with long pods, “Sunset” has pink flowers, and the “Scarlet Emperor” has scarlet flowers. WILD CARROTS AND QUEEN ANNE’S LACE EAT THE WEEDS AND OTHER THINGS, TOO Per 100 grams of seeds it has 17.7 grams protein, 17.1 grams fat, 41.4 grams starch, and 7.8 grams fiber. On alcoholic extraction, the seeds yield a saponin, a sterol glucoside, a flavone, and lecithin. The fatty acid composition of the seed is 24.3% saturated acids, 51.1% oleic, and 24.0% linoleic. CARROTWOOD, TUCKEROO In the Southern California costal region wild parrots feast on the nuts/berries of the carrotwood trees in the late spring and early summer. The trees appear to provide a major food source for the wild parrots (There is an unresolved debate as to whether the wild parrots migrated from Mexico due to loss of habitat or are the escaped descendants of pets) in Southern California.AUSTRALIAN PINE
FALSE DANDELIONS FOR LUNCH The second false dandelion is better known and more wide-spread. The Hypochoeris radicata (hye-poe-KÊ-ris rad-i-KAY-ta) is also called by several other names usually involving “cat’s ear” such as “Smooth Cat’s Ear” or “Spotted Cat’s Ear.” See pictures at right. Unlike the previous “false dandelion” the radicata is animport from Europe.
SEA-GRAPES: MARITIME MARVELS Sea-Grapes (Coccoloba uvifera koe-koe-LOE-buh yoo-VIFF-er-uh) are gangly, sprawling bushes or small trees found near beaches throughout tropical America and the Caribbean, including mid- and southern Florida and Bermuda.They’re also landscapes plants inland with ambitious growth. I have two species in my yard at least 90 miles outside of their accepted range, a carambola and a sea-grape. A PITCH FOR SPRUCE GUM A cast iron pan too pitted for frying works well, too. Just the right size for a “chaw” off the tree. Put your granulated resin in the pot and add enough water to makes a slurry. Then heat slowly over low heat (remember, resin can catch fire easily or burn you badly if it gets on you while hot so be careful. PURSLANE: OMEGA 3 FATTY WEED Purslane: Any Portulaca In A Storm Her name was Zona. She was a grand friend-in-law She had been a friend of the family for about a century. To be exact, her oldest son married the youngest daughter of my grandmother’s lifelong, met-as-kids, best friend.

Why the genus was called Perilla by the Latin scholar Linnaeus is unknown. Despite what Internet “Baby Name” sites say Perilla (per-RILL-ah) is not an American invention, though it was a common girl’s name in the 1800s in the United States. Perilla is “new” Latin and was the nick name of Caecillia Metella the poetess, and lover of the Roman poet Ticida, and many others.

In 1751 the Gardener’s Dictionary by Phillip Miller describes Abutilon as: “The first sort here mentioned is an annual plant, which is hardy enough to come up in the common ground, and will perfect its seeds without any trouble; but does not bear to be transplanted, unless when the plants are very young, so that the seeds should be sown where the plants are designed to remain; and if the NEWSLETTER #459, JUNE 1ST, 2021 For more than 60 years I have associated Lilacs with June.

TICK CLOVER

Tick Clover, Desmodium trifolum Tick Clover barely makes it into our foraging realm.Tick Clover Flower
I have found only one reference to its edibility. In the 47th volume of the _Journal of Economic Botany_ (1993) there is an article called “ETHNOBIOLOGICAL NOTES ON THE KHASI AND GARO TRIBES OF MEGHALAYA, NORTHEAST INDIA.” The 16th entry on page 349 says of _Desmodium triflorum_* “_Cooked preferably mixed with dry fish_.” That should give you an idea regarding its flavor. Also called Three Flower Beggarweed, Creeping Tickfoil, Sagotia Beggarweed, and Threeflower, it’s a common weed locally found matting in lawns and parks. Tick Clover blooms in the warmer months and has blue or purplish-pink flowers. You usually find its seeds on your socks or pant legs. More on that in a moment. Some of the members of this genus have edible seeds. I don’t know if this one has edible seeds or not. When I get better health insurance I’ll find out. Young Tick Clover Pod Available most of the year and drought resistant Tick Clover is found in Florida, Louisiana, Hawaii, the West Indies, Mexico, Central America, South America, Asia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma) Thailand, Malaysia, Indo-China, Pacific Islands, Africa and Australia. It’s essentially pantropical. According to the above article in India harvested in March and April. _Desmodium_ (dez-MOH-dee-um) comes from the Greek word _desmos_ which means a bond or chain, a reference to its jointed fruit, that sticky green loment to the above right. _Triflorum_(TRY-flor-um) refers to its blossom with three petals, some say refers to three blossoms perstem.
Tick Clover forms dense mats in lawns. It has at least five other botanical names. Botany is not a settled science. It’s called Tick Clover not because of an insect but because it forms a thick mat and looks like clover. A similar thick cloth is called ticking. That “tick” can be traced to_ tikke_ in Middle English, _tijk_ in Dutch, _theca_ in Latin to the original Greek _theke_ meaning a case. In modern Greek it is said Θήκη (THEE-kee) a box, case or receptacle. And for edification the insect called a tick gets its name from a different Greek word. It goes from tick to Middle English “teke” to low German “teke” to the Greek word “Zeche.” The pea family is an interesting one with edible species and toxic species and not much rhyme or reason to that. Edible leaves in the family are usually high in protein — this one is 18%, according to _Bermudez et al. 1968_ — but low in taste, more a famine food than table fare. This is also why they are usually cooked and mixed with something else. Every morsel helps to fill an empty tummy. Incidentally, poultry really like Tick Clover, particularly babychicks.
Bullfrog and Desmodium in China, photo by lz in the UK This brings me to the nice Greek word _zoochorous, _which should be said zoe-oh-CHOR-us_, _which is having the spores or seeds dispersed by animals. Life and animals et cetera in Greek are zoe-OH, which got mangled through Latin into the English word zoo. When seeds like the Tick Clover are carried on the fur it is called epizoochory. When carried inside for later deployment it is endozoochory. Now you know. *They misspelled the Latin name of the plant in the article using an extra “i” writing it _triflorium_ rather than_ triflorum_. GREEN DEANE’S “ITEMIZED” PLANT PROFILE: TICK CLOVER IDENTIFICATION: _Desmodium triflorum: _A small prostrate legume with a woody taproot. Strongly branched stems covered with yellow-brown hairs. The plant can form roots at the nodes of the stem. Trifoliate leaves with heart-shaped leaflets to a 3/8 of an inch long (10-12 mm.) Pink to purple flowers. Pods flat, two to four rounded segments which are straight across the back when hooked together. They break easily and cling to clothes. It’s also much smaller than a common relative Creeping Beggarweed, _Desmodium incanum_, which also grows locally._ D. incanum_ has much larger leaves, two inches long or more. TIME OF YEAR: Available most of the year. ENVIRONMENT: Pastures, truck farms, roadsides, lawns, open pinewoods. Very shade tolerant, frost intolerant. Found on a wide variety ofsoils.
METHOD OF PREPARATION: Leaves boiled. This a plant that has many medicinal applications as well.HERB BLURB
_This study evaluated the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of the crude extract and fractions of Desmodium triflorum (L.) DC. The total phenolic content, 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), reducing power, total flavonoid content of D. triflorum were evaluated for the exploration of its antioxidant activities. Furthermore, its antiproliferative activities were investigated through the MTT method. It was compared with the antioxidant capacities of known antioxidants, including catechin, α-tocopherol, trolox and ascorbic acid. Among all fractions, ethyl acetate fraction was the most active in scavenging DPPH and TEAC radicals, of which 0.4 mg was equivalent to 186.6 ± 2.5 μg and 82.5 2.1 μg of α-tocopherol and trolox respectively. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the crude extract were equivalent to 36.60 ± 0.1 mg catechin and 45.6 ± 0.6 mg rutin per gram respectively. In the reducing power assay, 1.25 mg of crude extract was similar to 61.2 ± 0.3 μg of ascorbic acid. For the assessment of the safety and toxicity of D. triflorum, LD50 of the crude extract was greater than 10 g/kg when administered to mice through gastric intubation. The above experimental data indicated that D. triflorum was a potent antioxidant medicinal plant, and such efficacy may be mainly attributed to its polyphenolic compounds._ { 5 comments… add one } * Liuzhou Laowai December 9, 2011, 9:37 pm Desmodium is eaten in China.

Thanks for the photo… from China no less… and we have both here… Desmondium and bullfrogs.Reply
* Kai October 19, 2016, 2:03 pm Of course I’d leave the 3rd comment after half a decade. I’m curious, which Desmodium species DO have edible seeds?Reply
* Lisa November 3, 2016, 9:45 pm I’d also like to know which Desmodium seeds are edible. I have to admit to occasionally crunching on a seed from Desmodium uncinatum – they’re very hard but could be useful as a flour perhaps? Or soaked like some other hard legume seed? Or even sprouted? Does anyone have any experience with this?Reply
* Bob Nesmith January 13, 2017, 9:24 pmDeane,
I have eaten the seeds and flower spikes of these for years. Never in great quantities but still, I’ve felt no ill effects. As I try–in vain–to manually eradicate them from my yard I am struck by how much they smell like peanut plants.Bob
