User's notes

Exotic, invasive Creeping vine with compound palmate leaf, growing underneath Cherry Ballarat tree. Hard to trace all vines. Treated with Glyphosate. All vine pieces,nodes, suckers taken off-site to prevent regrowth from lateral roots. 1st sighting of this species at this location (the Fair, Watson, ACT 2602), according to Waltraud ( Personal coms).

Thank you Max; so important to record these invasive plants which are new to this part of the nature reserve spreading from the gardens and public roads. I consider the nature reserve east of the Fair a show case for weed invasion from urban fringe since we can fairly accurately time the planting such as Callery Pear etc.
