1st CNM report and not listed as a naturalised species in the ACT. Is a listed noxious weed in America and is problematic in dry areas with poor soils.

User's notes

Sprawling fleshy stems. Doesn't look the same as other Euphorbias on CNM, but not sure

Thanks for the ID. The bank it is on matches your description of where it grows. I will get rid of the patch soon.

Thanks Vera - I have alerted the Parks and Conservation Service and they should remove the plants in the next few days - but it would be great if you could watch for any new seedlings and remove them if they emerge.
