Glenbrook Native Plant Reserve Weed List

Photos are from the Australian National Botanic Gardens Australian Plants Image Index website.
Where there are subspecies sometimes the species link in Plantnet has a link to the subspecies.
The Image index link may also have photos of subspecies or varieties but they they can also be found by searching for them directly on the ANBG Image website.

After decades of weeding very few of these weeds now exist in the reserve but they may turn up from time to to time depending on birds, winds and weather conditions. Weeding continues.
