Field Collection Notes
Casual weed of Area Office grounds. First found in July 2005 and eradication attempted. This gathering sampled from a single plant that was later dug up and burned. This is the only place where I have this plant on the entire island. I suspect it was introduced from New Zealand as a seed contaminate of nursery plants.
