Presumably a garden escapee?

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.
