Common name: Cotoneaster Latin name: Cotoneaster glaucophyllus FAMILY: ROSACEAE/MALACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: n/a Description Habit: Shrub to 4m, often multiple trunks arising from <strong>the</strong> base which take on an arching habit. The tree has a dull green appearance punctuated with clusters of bright red berries when in fruit. Leaves: Simple, alternate, discolourous (upper and lower surfaces distinctly different in colour), <strong>the</strong> lower surface with a wooly covering of hairs, leaves up to 10cm long. Flowers: In white clusters. Each flower about 8 mm wide, 5-petalled. Flower stalk densely hairy. Flowers spring and summer. Fruit: A red berry to 10mm with multiple yellow seeds, presented in clusters. Ecology: Common ornamental. Widely naturalised on <strong>the</strong> fringes of urban bushland and roadsides near plantings. At least nine species of Cotoneaster have naturalised in Australia. The fruit is palatable to animals, particularly birds and this helps <strong>the</strong> plant spread quickly over a wide range. It is aggressive in <strong>the</strong> mid and understory of some forest types, although not well suited to <strong>the</strong> deep shade of rainforest. It invades heathland and heathy woodland, lowland grassland and grassy woodland, dry sclerophyll forest and woodland, damp sclerophyll forest, wet sclerophyll forest, riparian vegetation, freshwater wetland (seasonal), and rock outcrop vegetation (Carr et al 1992). It’s aggressive habit and ability to form dense thickets enables it to outcompete desirable vegetation. Dispersal: Fruit are eaten and spread by birds, but also likely by terrestrial vertebrates such as rats. Seeds can be transported in flowing water of riparian systems. Also spread by humans as <strong>the</strong> plant is valued by some as an ornamental. Control: HAND: Cotoneaster can be dug out, and seedlings and small plants hand pulled. CHEMICAL: Seedlings can be spot sprayed with glyphosate & water at 10mL L -1 + surfactant (eg Pulse or Rygel). The plant suckers readily so large plants can be treated by cut, scrape and paint stump, or stem inject with undiluted glyphosate.
Common name: Cotton Bush / Swan Plant Latin name: Gomphocarpus fruiticosus FAMILY: APOCYNACEAE/ASCLEPEDIACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: n/a Description Habit: Erect, short-lived perennial shrub to 2m. Stems densely covered with apressed (laying flat) short weak soft hairs when young, becoming hairless with age. Leaves 4–12.5 cm long, 0.5–1.5 cm wide, upper and lower surfaces with scattered hairs; hairs on leaf stalk to 1 cm long. Flowers: White to 15mm in clusters. Fruit: A green inflated pod, turning brown with age, covered with soft spines to 1 cm long, splitting to release seeds; pod with inner wall separated from outer wall by an air space and seeds within inner chamber; pod stalk S-shaped. Seeds numerous, ovoid, flat, about 0.6 cm long and ending in a tuft of white silky hairs (pappus) about 3 cm long. Ecology: Grows well in areas of disturbance such as grazed pasture or degraded farmland, but also readily colonises areas of ephemeral inundation, creek banks etc. Prefers full sun. Inflated fruit releases windblown seeds, but spread also facilitated by contaminated soil, garden waste and on vehicles and machinery. Dense stands of Cotton Bush compete with desirable vegetation. Dispersal: Inflated fruit releases windblown seeds, but spread also facilitated by contaminated soil, garden waste and on vehicles and machinery. Control: Note: Plants contain milky sap which may be irritable to some so PPE should be worn. HAND: Recommended for small infestations only. CHEMICAL: Dense or large and diffuse infestations can be foliar sprayed with 10ml L -1 glyphosate (eg RoundUp Biactive).
