Key Distinguishing Feature

Crowsfoot gains its name from the way the leaves angle from the stem, making it look like “crows feet”.

Sometimes also referred to as Goose Grass, Crowsfoot reaches up to 50cm in height, and has a very strong, fibrous root system. Often colonising in bare or disturbed areas. The seed head consists of several short, finger-like branches radiating from the top of an erect stalk. Leaves are shiny, green and hair free. They can be up to 9cm long.
