forb (FORB) - n., any herbaceous plant that is not a grass.
Especially one growing in a meadow, field, or prairie -- all the non-woody broadleaves. The term comes up primarily in ecology, but its ultimate root (ancient Greek phorbē, fodder, from pherbein, to graze) shows its agricultural importance.
