Growing wild a bit off the path in the native bushland at the back of the Botanic Gardens. The same plant was seen later in a garden bed so I suspect it may have spread from there.

It's an environmental weed that's often spread by birds eating the fruit of cultivated plants. The species is native to Western Australia but grows very happily (unfortuantely!) in the local region.
