Dear Mad,

Interesting regarding the weed S. flava in NZ.

First, there have been some questions of what constitutes a weed.
In our office (the Exotic Species Program at The Nature Conservancy)
we consider a weed to be any plant which interferes with your management
objectives at a site.

Fortunately, I do not think that S. flava is likely to be an aggressive,
invasive weed. I suspect that someone scattered seed at the area in NZ in
question. It would be easily controlled by pulling the plant.

Barry
