Polygala grandiflora, an ornamental, not sure how it manages to naturalised

Warren could you please press some stems of flowers and leaves and drop off at Botanic Gardens or CSIRO herbariumm. This is a major weed of coastal areas of South African origin. As far as I know it has not been recorded as naturalised in the ACT previously. Certainly one to remove. "grandiflora" is a nursery form of Polygala myrtifolia.
