1. Common name - Shepherd's Purse Botanical name - Capsella bursa-pastoris Features and/ or description - Shepherd's purse is a delicate herb that is often overlooked. It grows in overgrown areas, and is hard to pick out surrounded by other grasses. The heart shaped leaves will draw your eye, once you start to see it though. A good reason to slow down and look at the beauty around you. why it is a pasture or weed - ?? Don't understand the question
2. Buffalo Sweet Grass? (sacred to American Indians used as smudge.) There are lots of oat-type weeds White clover - Melliot (fragrant, only medicinal when in bloom, good for eye problems.) ??kikuyu rye grass, nettle, shepherd's purse, sPeedwell (good for wounds), and chick weed are highly invasive, very common weeds and can be searched individually. Hmmm, this sounds suspiciously like a homework question.
