species.
Preferred habitat: Prefers woodlands near watercourses and moist slopes, but is now a
prominent weed of in grasslands, open woodlands and rocky slopes.
Flowering: Spring
Method of Spread: Spreads primarily by seed, dispersed by ants, wind and water.
Controls: - Cut and Swab large individuals. Hand pull or dig out smaller infestations and juvenile
plants.
