did someone remove it? I assume the seeds are gone unfortunately. Most of the ALG I spotted in that area and treated or reported were closer to the fence; I only spotted occasionally a single plant. It is so important to remove straight away....

No, I did not remove it because I did not recognise it as E. curvula. And many of the seeds were gone. To me it looked different in colour and height to what I had seen previously closer to the Antill St fence.
