@ACTParks-InvasivePlantsTeam can this be added to the list of reportable weeds on Collector? I have a few other locations that are a bit more difficult to access

This is actually Chloris virgata. It’s a smaller plant with a fluffy white inflorescence that tends not to open much. In contrast, Chloris gayana is a much taller plant (up to 2m) with an open inflorescence.
