This weedt has the potential to become widespread on Coleman ridge, where we have had one other record of it from 2020 (4-15 plants). Are you able to dig this plant out? You only need to get a few centimetres under the surface. It develops large thin pods which seem to be missing from your plant, but if pods are present could you bag the plant and dispose in a general waste bin.
Thanks Michael Mulvaney
