The first correct answer came in on December 19th 2007.
A prize has been awarded.

Continue to work at this one, as it will probably be one of our worst weeds.

So far not spotted by local environmental groups.

No weed alert notices it. It is not mentioned on any of the trendy brochures.

Hint 1:

A specimen is in the Cape Naturaliste Regional Herbarium and on the CD.

Hint 3:
You can find this plant in Western Weeds.

Hint 4:

You can find this plant in Florabase but we're not so silly as to give you the page number! You'll have to try to find a needle in a haystack. Every Western Australian weed is on Florabase - (well, perhaps not the latest).

The scans are of a plant in bud.

Spreading between Dunsborough and Yallingup on the side of the road underneath our noses.
