Cluster of this species around eucalypt on Mt Majura next to road behind houses in Mackenzie St Hackett. Recent mowing to create firebreak behind the houses cut some of this plant

Chris, this looks like one of the notorious dumping sites in the reserve behind Mackenzie. Maybe the dumping was discontinued and the introduced species are the result of the previous dumping or jumping the fence. There are records of a range of garden plant species around this site such as African daisies.
