The discovery of Morison's spurry in Massachusetts belongs
to Tom Palmer of Milton. As of 2015, his sample remained the only
one in the thin folder representing this plant in the Harvard University
Herbaria. Morison's spurry is not difficult to identify, once
you find its seeds. Each seed has a relatively wide wing (about 0.3 mm on
average, sometimes even 0.5 mm), while a seed of S. arvensis, which has been traditionally the only species recognized
as common in Massachusetts, has a wing less than 0.1 mm wide.
Besides, that seed is nearly globose, not as flat as the
seeds in this photo.
