Wikipedia
chickweed
Stellaria media, chickweed, is an annual and perennial flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to Eurasia and naturalized throughout the world. This species is used as a cooling herbal remedy, and grown as a vegetable crop and ground cover for both human and poultry consumption. It is sometimes called common chickweed to distinguish it from other plants called chickweed. Other common names include chickenwort, craches, maruns, and winterweed. The plant germinates in autumn or late winter, then forms large mats of foliage.

chickweed
Chickweed is a common name for several plants in the Caryophyllaceae family that are native to Europe but have since spread worldwide. These plants are typically considered weeds in gardens because of their invasive growth, but they're also known for their medicinal uses, being rich in vitamins and minerals. The plant gets its name because chickens, birds, and other small animals love to eat it. Two common types of chickweed are Common Chickweed (Stellaria media) and Mouse-ear Chickweed (Cerastium fontanum).
Webster Dictionary
Chickweednoun
the name of several caryophyllaceous weeds, especially Stellaria media, the seeds and flower buds of which are a favorite food of small birds
