Yes, but not a good one - lacks roots. Can go back and get a better one if you want it.

Please keep for the moment but I think your id is clear-cut and no further effort required. I found a large number of this dreadful weed close to the watercourse; it is in good companionship with all the Chilean Needle Grass and Paspalum...
