Senecio glastifolius
Holly leaved senecio is native to the Cape region of South Africa. It is uncertain when the plant was introduced into Australia, but it was first recognised as naturalised in 1986 in the Albany district of Western Australia. The plant is particularly invasive in open damp areas, and has the ability to dominate understorey vegetation in these conditions.
