cobbler's pegs


Long thin black seeds which stick to clothing. The "sticky" bit is on one end only. It is a common weed around Brisbane: My clothes were covered in cobblers pegs after my walk through the overgrown back yard.

Contributor's comments: Common in Sydney. The weed in question in "Bidens pilosa" - at least in Sydney it is.
