Common name: Canna Lily Latin name: Canna indica, Canna x generalis FAMILY: CANNANACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: n/a Description Habit: Erect, herbaceous perennial to 2m high with no true stems. Stems are a collection of tightly furled leaf bases. Roots extensive and a fleshy rhizome is formed underground. Leaves: Leaves Dark green to multi coloured and striped, large (60 x 25cm), arranged alternately on ‘stems’. Flowers: Tubular flowers (yellows oranges, reds and pinks) formed in asymmetrical clusters. Spring-Autumn. Fruit: Black, globular seeds (5-7mm long) borne in capsule, and spread by birds. Roots: Aggressively fibrously rooted. Ecology: Well suited to damp/boggy ground in full sun positions, but because it can spread by <strong>the</strong> aggressive, creeping rhizome, it can invade into semi-shade. When ripe, <strong>the</strong> fruit capsule is unremarkable in colour but <strong>the</strong> 5mm seeds are spread by birds and by contaminated and dumped green/waste. Dispersal: Seed, usually spread by birds but also often as a contaminant of garden waste/mulch and to a lesser extent in flowing water of riparian systems. Control HAND: Hand pull/dig, bagging all plant parts and removing from site. CHEMICAL: Foliar spray with glyphosate (eg RoundUp Biactive) for initial knockdown of large infestations, but long-term hand removal required.
Common name: Cape Ivy Latin name: Delairia odorata FAMILY: ASTERACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: W5 (Environmental Weed) Description Habit: Perennial, weakly-stemmed vine to 25m, but also ground-smo<strong>the</strong>ring. Leaves: Simple, alternate and lobed, palmately veined, fleshy and light green. Flowers: Conspicuous clusters of small, unpleasantly scented yellow, daisy-like flower heads. July - September. Fruit: An achene (hard-coated, no flesh) with a pappus (tuft of ‘hairs’). Roots: Shallow-rooted and generally not adventitious (ie rooting at nodes). Ecology: Tolerant of semi-shade to full sun, Capy Ivy is fast growing and quickly smo<strong>the</strong>rs o<strong>the</strong>r vegetation, often stunting and killing <strong>the</strong> ‘host’. Once elevated to canopy height, <strong>the</strong> wind-dispersed fruit can travel over long distances (>1km) and start new infestations. Dispersal: Seed which is readily spread by wind, water and as a soil contaminant. Is also capable of growing from stem fragments with a node. Control HAND: Hand pull/dig, bagging all plant parts and removing from site. Use caution not to damage host vegetation. CHEMICAL: Foliar spray with 1.5g 10L -1 metsulfuron methyl (eg Brushoff) is effective.
