Notes:
Plant Register ID: 2005/551Loose plants are growing on the railway itself and a larger infestation is growing on the steep hill country of the railway block. It does seem to be spreading. The total number of plants would be well into the hundreds. I don't think it was planted there but it is hard to know. It may have spread up the hill from the railway line.
