Notes:
I have not seen this growing but information supplied is as follows:Shrub, about 10 - 15 ft. high. 'Hearsay' is that is was brought in form South Africa or South America for medicinal purposes - to be used in poultices. It has spread considerably but is at present confined, possibly by the use of the surrounding land.It is definitely injurious to cattle. Cows have died from eating the young suckers. Effect on sheep unknown.
