User's notes

Definitely high hundreds of plants if not low thousands. Widespread on creek flat in Dry Sclerophyll Forest. I have never seen such a large infestation and certainly this occurrence re-enforces why we are trying to eradicate this plant in those reserves where its numbers are still in the tens.

I can probably find ten along Isaacs Ridge but no patch as big as the planted ones in Commonwealth Park.
