Hairy Tare - Vicia hirsuta
It is also called hairy vetch or tiny vetch
Hairy tare is a scrambling annual, native in grassy places and rough ground throughout lowland Britain and is a weed of cultivated land. There is evidence that hairy tare was a weed of crops in the Iron Age.
Short to medium hairy plant, with small whitish flowers, with a pale lilac tinge, 2 to 4 mm in length.
Found in dry grassy places, rough grassland, roadside verges, from May to August.
Common throughout Britain except for parts of northern Scotland.
This
was found near the fence between the Briar Dene pub and the approach road.
The only reason it was sighted was that the grass in this section has not been cut this year.
