Whole plant removed and is on its way to be a preserved specimen in Aust Nat Herbarium.
Good work ACT Biosecurity:- when I arrived to get the plant, Ben from Biosec was just about to reef out the invader, having been alerted through the sighting just 16 hours earlier!
On close inspection, there are 3 or so dried stems which could have seen seed shed from earlier season. Left a marker on the ground to check site again in future. No other plants or seedlings found today.
