charlock

1 The pale clear yellow of charlock, sharp and clear, promises the finches bushels of seed for their young. 

2 Yellow charlock shot up faster and shone bright above the corn; the oaks showered down their green flowers like moss upon the ground; the tree-pipits sang on the branches and descending to the wheat.
