User's notes

Introduced species, invasive. Abundance counted as one as this is probably just one plant that has expanded. This is a young stand, not very big: and just about to start seed dispersing. It would be good if the heads could be cut off before the seeds get blown around the upper Naas valley, and the plant itself treated. .
