The Chaff-Flower is thin stemmed weed, most often found growing in sandy soil across northern and eastern Australia. It grows up to a metre in height, with a long, flowering spike at the end of the stem. As they mature, the small seed pods form recurved hooks along the stem. The plant can usually be found throughout the year. The young leaves can be boiled and eaten as a vegetable . . .
