  1. Russell Best  New species record for my block.

  3. David Francis  Russell, I was surprised to see this record was for your block!

     Reply • 31 Mar 2015

  4. • Russell Best  Me too David. It is a plains plant really and around here the nearest occurrences are at the cemetery and then the rail reserves (which is plains). On my block they were at the dry, rocky top of the hill (what we call Gill's Point). It is in a spot that I look at regularly so I'd guess they have established themselves this year or last.

  1. David Francis  Well spotted. I could dig them out.

     Reply • 17 Feb 2015

  2. • Russell Best  I think bits of root come off and they regrow - not sure? Roundup doesn't work either because the ends of roots survive. There is a cocktail that works but I don't know what it is. PV might know. If not I can try chasing up alternatives.
