This only the 2nd record of this species as a "wild" plant in the ACT. It is on the weed alert list as a low priority but anything on the list is a worry and great to nip it in the bud
User's notes
solitary plant adjacent to track at base of Mt Majura behind Mackenzie St Hackett. I have not seen this species before - unable to identify - exotic species??

Chris, you know best where it is. Could you please remove it (perhaps cut and daub). thanks W

I have just pulled the whole plant out - very easy to do when ground is soaked. I will check around this area and remove any others I find - hopefully this was the only one
