Scientific Names

Read about Tare in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Tare, Tares. To the modern English farmer the word "tare" means the common vetch, Vicia sativa, although tare is also applied loosely to other species of Vicia and Lathyrus, particularly Vicia hirsuta. The celebrated passage in Matthew xiii, 25, "His enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat," refers probably to the darnel, Lolium temulentum. The original Greek word in Matthew is Zizania, a name which in botany refers to the wild rice. Darnel belongs to the grass family and its seeds were long thought to stupefy those who ate them unwittingly. The supposed narcotic property in the fruit is said to be due to the presence of a fungus. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
