Chaucer Reeve's Tale (Hengwrt) (2003) l. 80 But ther of sette the Millere noght a tare. 2. A name given to some species of vetch: a. in early times, esp. to those occurring as weeds in cornfields. (Lyte, 1578, uses it only of these, applying ‘vetch’ or ‘fitch’ to Vicia sativa (sense 1b); with Gerarde, Ray, and later writers, ‘tare’ and ‘vetch’ become synonymous.)Still entering into the names of the ‘Hairy or Rough-podded Tare’, Vicia hirsuta ( Ervum hirsutum), and ‘Smooth Tare’, V. tetrasperma ( E. tetraspermum), cornfield weeds: see also strangle-tare n., tine-tare. In quots. 1580, applied (after Dodoens) to Lathyrus aphaca, now a rare ‘colonist’ in English cornfields, but perhaps then more common, being imported with dirty seed-wheat. Formerly also applied vaguely to other plants of these and allied genera, or to weeds resembling them in their habit.

Used in the later Wycliffite (or Purvey) version of the New Testament (Matthew xiii. 25), also in some manuscripts of the earlier text, and thence in Tyndale's and subsequent 16–17th cent. versions, to render Latin zīzania (Vulgate), Greek ζιζάνια, as name of an injurious weed among corn, which in the first Wyclif version had been rendered ‘dernel or cokil’, the latter going back in translations and quotations to Old English, the former to Early Middle English: see darnel n., cockle n.1 Obsolete except as a biblical use, and as in 3b.Evidently Purvey and his co-revisers adopted tares as in their opinion more intelligible than the earlier ‘dernel’ or ‘cokil’. Probably they thought of Vicia hirsuta the Strangle-tare, or other species of wild vetch, as familiar noxious weeds in English cornfields.
