@Jiggy may I ask how you find your IDs?

@Tapirlord, onsite while we are controlling invasive weeds for ACT Parks & Cons.

Gotcha. I only ask as the suggested species hasn't been recorded from the ACT before, so was curious if you were using any particular resource. :)

The images are that not that great. But I know the first stage of blue Devil as I have work in many areas when we have came across first stage of blue Devil. I mit be back on this site next week and I'll try getting better images

The images contain enough detail for ID, noting the teeth on the edge of each basal leaf which is diagnostic for our region. Very welcome to take more photos, but they’ll tell us the same story :).

@Tapirlord, how I id the plants I find, well after 30 years in the feild I have built up a good knowledge of plants, but there are a lot plants I don't know so I'll research the plants either plantnet, CNM, inaturalist or living atlas of Australia :).
