Field Collection Notes
A dozen or so plants scattered along the crack between the footpath and the masonry of buildings, and fringing the edges of a metal electricity box. Almost no other plants growing with them. The minute pale seeds (like gold dust) perhaps explain the species' ability to spread to even the tiniest crevices.
