Jenny - dig this one out before it seeds. It is a native to south america - doesn't like the frost but does spread once established. I suspect it was introduced to the Red hill area by Charlie Russell either in hay or cows that he brought down from a property in northern NSW that he also had an interest in

thanks Michael I came across it when out wandering in section 58 so will go looking for it again and remove.
Not being a plant expert I find it had to classify as I don't know which group to look through

Thanks Michael, Have dug it out . It came out easily and was only a single plant but will keep an eye out for others which may be out there. Nice to see lots of Wahlenbergia flowering through the area after the rain.
