Hi Guys

Can anyone ID this plant? I found it growing near a lake in mid Queensland, Australia.
I am not sure it is native and suspect it may be an alien.

Thanks

Fof

Hi,

This is most likely Polygala virgata (sp.) -- from what I know it is not native and may be classified as a weed in some localities. Here's a link to the plant

Thank you. You have nailed it. As I suspected, as soon as I saw it, another alien ferel.

Apologies for the delay in responding, but I have only just got back from holidays.

Have a good one

If you encounter Will Ferrell out in the bush, be sure to post pictures of that also.
