I saw the leaves poking up above a shrub. At least three pods. I didn't have anything to remove the plant. Something for @ACTBioSecurity.

Thanks mike I have had three goes at trying to kill this plant at this location - hopefully numbers are reducing

Certainly down from 50 plus. Monitoring needs to be earlier in the year, though the pods might make it easier to spot.
