User's notes
Foliage + young flower buds+ Distinctive underground tubers. Since this is a weed of Significance, it was treated with Glyphosate Herbicide. However, highly likely that not All tubers were recovered, so this site will need to be treated again. Also Mapped on ArcGIS Field Maps by Jodie F & Harriette W. who found this infestation, Hackett, close to Blue Metal road.

that is a site where we found and removed bridal creeper previously. It shows how important to map and follow-up / monitor. Unfortunately CNM has no longer the mapping function so previous records are hard to find....

The CNM record would also have gone onto the ArcGIS weed map website but best of luck in trying to find it. The earlier sighting is also buried in ALA records.
