Verbascum blattaria was listed as 'no longer present' in the 2012 ACT Plant Census but there have been several reports recently. V. virgatum is more common and probably becoming more prevalent. V. thapsus is so common that I rarely record it. Herbarium collections do not reflect the occurrence of exotic plants so Canberra Nature Map records are important.

In Verbascum virgatum, the flower stalk is much shorter than the subtending leaf like bract. In Verbascum blattaria the flower stalk is much longer than the subtending leaflike bract.
