Another weed then. It’s on the edge of the Bushland.

Mmmmm, its probably a little more complex than that, this species is actually native to the ACT. I don't know of a naturally occuring population in the Black mountain sandstone area, but I wouldn't say this is a high priority to remove or whether this species would have any negative impact. Up to the parkcare goup as to what to do I suppose, @MichaelMulvaney any thoughts?

I think it can stay as it is very close to urban gardens (so genetic exchange via pollinators has already probably occurred in this area if that is possible and it doesn't seem to be spreading
