Common name: Castor Oil Plant Latin name: Ricinus communis FAMILY: EUPHORBIACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: W5 (Environmental Weed) Description Habit: Perennial large shrub to small tree to 7m with open, spreading habit and smooth, grey trunk. Leaves: Simple, alternate and deeply lobed, palmately veined, soft and thin, dark green above, paler below. Flowers: Conspicuous terminal spikes of separate male and female flowers protruding beyond foliage (see photo). Fruit: Capsule containing numerous hard striped seeds to 7mm. Ecology: A disturbance specialist which rapidly colonises after flood, fire or clearing of land or weedy vegetation from dormant seed bank. Castor Oil Plant does not like full shade, but takes advantage of high light and heat conditions. The plant can grow up to 5m in <strong>the</strong> first year and set viable fruit. Fruit estimated to have a viability of up to 120 years and a dense seed bank can develop quickly within infestations. Dispersal: Seed which is readily spread by water and as a soil contaminant. Control Note: All parts of this plant should be considered poisonous and appropriate PPE used. HAND: Small plants can be hand-pulled. CHEMICAL: Dense infestations of seedlings or small plants can be foliar sprayed with glyphosate @ 2.0% + a non-ionic penetrant (eg Pulse or Rygel) @ 0.1%. Large plants can be cut-stumped with undiluted glyphosate (eg Roundup Biactive).
Common name: Cats Ear Latin name: Hypochaeris radicata FAMILY: ASTERACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: n/a Description Habit: Rosetted annual, herb, 8-50cm high, leaves rough, bristly; yellow flower heads up to 3 cm across. Common weed of lawns, horticultural areas, roadsides & bushland. Leaves: A rosette of lanceolate, shallowly-lobed leaves with abundant rough hairs. Flowers: Conspicuous yellow flowers presented on occasionally-branched stems. Fruit: An achene (hard-coated, no flesh) with a pappus (tuft of ‘hairs’). Ecology: Like many Asteraceae plants of this type, Hypochaeris thrives in disturbed, high light and heat situations eg. post-fire, scarification by machinery, trampling, over-stocking etc. It produces abundant seed that rapidly germinates and also can resprout from <strong>the</strong> tap-root. Dispersal: Seed which is readily spread by wind and as a soil contaminant. Control HAND: Small plants can be hand-pulled, ensuring <strong>the</strong> tap-root is removed. CHEMICAL: Dense infestations of seedlings or small plants can be foliar sprayed with glyphosate @ 1.0% or 1g 10L -1 metsulfuron methyl (eg Brushoff) which will not kill surrounding grasses.
