I wasn't going to record this garden escape, except that it has also been found on Long Gully Road.

I presume the leaves are opposite each other. It is hard to tell from your photos. Recorded as Doubtfully naturalised in the ACT Plant Census 2017, so a specimen to the herbarium would be a good idea.
