Habitat:
Infestation found approximately 20m up from the toe of the foredune.
Notes:
201 plants found in approximately 60m2 area. Five (roughly) of these were mature and had old seed heads. The rest were a mixture of very young and immature plants. Plants ranged from 20mm to 400mm high.
A small inlet in the sand dunes appeared to be the point of access for seeds. Likely the seeds were brought up by a high storm surge.
