Notes:
Plants approx. 1 m wide by 30 cm high, possibly originally planted, but smaller plants seen around the cemetery. Spreading.
According to volunteers it has been growing in the cemetery for at least 14 years. It is assumed to have been intentionally planted in the middle of the cemetery (eastern side of internal access road in the Primitive Methodist area) and has been transferred to the western side of the cemetery (mostly Presbyterian and Anglican areas). One cluster is planted near the bush boundary. It does seed, mostly into cracks in the concrete and not very far from the "mother" (only 1-2 graves away). It seems to prefer dry, gravelly soil and it often dies out in a wet winter.
