Commonly Known as Capeweed ( imported from South Africa ) this broad leafed annual has a great year - its filling up pastures all across the SW of Victoria due to the bare ground sydrome of a dry set of years. These big seeders dominate groundcover once by filling up lightspace with a watery skeleton of leaves that go to nothing when dry. a shortage of seed and a poor start to the season leave the ground open to such invaders . Well kept perennial pastures make sense but a 1 in 100 yr dry spell requires special adjustment ? No good for hay--- so today with 15-20 mm of rain, many farmers are out their sowing something better !
