This is a bad weed across southern Australia. It was first recorded in the Kaleen area in 1965, but has been subject to control and does not seem to have spread far. These plants have already been sprayed by our diligent City Services staff

City Services has controlled it with herbicide. Had spread into native grassland so just as well they intervened early in the invasion process.
