From
Norfolk Flora Group
S. sisymbriifolia Red Buffalo-bur. A native of South America and widely naturalized elsewhere. It is an erect or scrambling annual herb,
found on cultivated ground and in waste places. It arose predominantly from wool shoddy, but latterly has been introduced with oil-seed,
bird-seed and agricultural seed. It was first grown in Britain in 1815 and was first recorded in the wild in 1893 (Bournemouth, South Hampshire).
It appears to have declined following the cessation of using wool shoddy as a manure, but may reemerge as a result of its potential use in killing
potato nematodes (see S. scabrum above). I saw it as a field crop near Southrepps (centred on TG264372) in 2022, though this has been
followed by sugar beet in ’23, rather than potatoes.
