Field Collection Notes
One young plant growing on an recently cleared and levelled area that had been covered with top soil (a new park or subdivision perhaps) with abundant silverbeets, beetroots, Phacelia tanacetifolia and a broccoli plant (AK 297109). All probably arising as seed contaminants in the top soil, which appears to have come from a farm.
