Yes - it is an annual and redder and fleshier than panicum effusum. As you only have a few plants I would pull them out immediately - I suspect it is transported by mowers was it in the mown or unsown section of Bass Gardens?

Thanks Michael. I'll pull them out now. I hope not many seeds have dispersed. The plants I've seen are in the Conservation Zone but now that I'm sure about the id I'll look all around the park.

Your pic of P. capillare leaves is perfect for helping to distinguish the exotic from the native.
