| Hi,
I recently purchased & planted a tree, and the plant/weed pictured was growing from the transplanted dirt. I pulled it out, but it unfortunately stuck me with its prickers several times & I'm having a minor allergic reaction. Just curious as to what it is - no one I know has any idea. |

| Thanks, I'll look into that. If it helps any, it grows like a lightweight ground cover vine. And while it doesn't look particularly thorny, it got me a few times through cotton/latex gloves. Learned my lesson - leather gloves from now on while weeding! |

| Vicia americana is described as having a small spine at the tip. |
