Capsella bursa-pastoris, das gewöhnliche Hirtentäschel. Kreuzblütler, der bei uns beheimatet ist. Gilt bei vielen als Unkraut, dabei ist er für Mensch und Tier essbar. 39 Wildbienenarten, davon sieben Spezialisten, fressen von ihr. Die Wurzeln reichen bis einen Meter tief in den Boden.
Ein Exemplar des gewöhnlichen Hirtentäschels.

#Herbarium specimens reveal links between leaf shape of Capsella bursa-pastoris & climate

New #AJB research by Asia Hightower, Daniel Chitwood & Emily Josephs

An image of 16 Capsella bursa-pastoris leaves. The leaves are arranged in four rows of four leaves. Each leaf shows a different lobing pattern to emphasize the variation in lobing found between Capsella bursa-pastoris leaves. Each leaf is colored blue and stands against a white background. On the top of each leaf, the tip is highlighted in pink. The bottom of the leaf has the base of the leaf highlighted by an orange dot.

Shepherd's purse also likes to attract nematodes (microscopic worms that feed on plant roots), then kill them & feed on the nitrogen from their decaying corpses.

That can be helpful for crop production! There's something for everyone to love.
