Urambi Hills, beside track from Meredith St gate to hilltop. Yellow flowers were closed so not a clear picture of them.

This plant is widely naturalised in eastern Australia and is a significant weed in tropical areas. I don't rate it as a major threat in the Canberra area. We have virtually eliminated a small population on Red Hill without really trying - seems to thrive best in highly disturbed areas
