Significant sighting

MichaelMulvaney noted:

9 Mar 2021

Moth Vine is a native to South America and has the potential to become a major weed in our region - this and a spot in McKellar (treated by Jiggy) are teh only known Belconnen locations - it would be good to eradicate it from the catchment

User's notes

Canes up to 1.5m long. No fruit. Stem scraped the plants and daubed with glyphosate 1:1. One of the plants near gross pollution trap was treated in Feb 2017.
