roadside bush on river bank
bank of Mannonye Creek next to bridge.
Same spot in 2016, when this shrub was not present and the river bank was dominated by tithonia https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/78771817
Same plant in July 2023

10 fertile stamens, usually a single gland between lowest pair of leaflets. Usually 5 or 6 pairs of leaflets. Scattered small colonies are dispersed in near-shore locations along about 2km of the southern shore of Wagonga inlet. While they are far beyond its recognised range there origin is puzzling. They are NOT downslope from or anywhere near gardens. Dumping is a possible origin BUT the species has not been detected in weedy reserves within Narooma where exotic Senna spp such as *S. pendula are very common. Intensely drought-stressed when observed in November 2023, after good December rains the plants are now in full leaf and flower (12.1.24).
