Habitat:
Three volunteer plants in parsnip rows in vegetable garden, domestic section.
Notes:
Plants to 168cm tall. Unlikely that plants originated from seed as impurity in parsnip seed. Likely to have come on to section on footwear used when grubbing plants in the only known South Island infestation, (Waltham Railway yards, Wilsons Road) several years ago. 11 June 1997 plants have tolerated several recent frosts of -3°C without injury. Sheets A - C.
