Wiki says
A forb or phorb is a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grass, sedge, or rush). The term is used in biology and in vegetation ecology, especially in relation to grasslands and understory. Typically these are dicots without woody stems.
I found it on a site dedicated to strawberry growing. I'm still trying to figure out what a didcot is apart from being a station or train preservation centre
