Wikipedia Abstract

Soliva sessilis, one of up to nine species of the genus Soliva, is a low-growing herbaceous annual plant. Its common names include field burrweed, Onehunga-weed, lawn burrweed, lawnweed, and common soliva. It is one of several plants known as bindi weed, bindii, or bindi-eye. Bindi weed can be manually removed by pulling it out at the root, usually when it's grown big, and started to flower, and before seeding - especially after rain when the ground is softer. A hand tool that pinches the tap root,and enables some leverage, while getting in under the central core is the best method.
