Another location of Spanish Heath, a highly invasive plant, in early stags of getting established in the ACT. There is still a chance it can be eradicated

I would like to be wrong with this identification but otherwise it is a new sighting of two old plants.

Those 2 Ericas have been there for years. I sent a photo to Dave Mallinson at the Herbariuim several years ago and he was not interested in getting a herbarium sample as he usually was for exotics. They have not spread. He didn't mention for me to cut them down as he usually did if there was a problem.

I destroyed a plant on Saturday 30 May - didn't see the other one. Is it still there?

I only found one this year there was an other little one but it must have died.
