Identify this weed ?

and it is both ancient and has 216 chromosomes, the highest I think
found to date.
Fide Wikipedia, the Adder's Tounge Fern has approximately 1,400
chromosomes (it's hard to count them when there's that many).
Tilia nobilis has 328 (abstract to C.D. Piggott, A Review of Chromosome
Numbers in the Genus Tilia (Tiliaceae), Edinburgh Journal of Botany 59:
239-246 (2002))
