From Ferdinand von Mueller to the Weekly Times   [Aug 1896]1

["Constant Reader." — We have submitted the weed to Baron Von Mueller. He says it is Senebia didyma,2 a kind of opium3 cress, supposed to have come originally from South America. It is not injurious, but does not make a good pasture. If it encroaches on good grasses the ground should be broken up and sown with a strong growing grass, such as cocksfoot.]

Senebia didyma

Letter not found. The text given here is from 'General', Weekly times, 29 August 1896, p. 21.

Typesetter’s error for Senebiera didyma?

Perhaps a typesetter's error for apium?
