Weed of the Month: Neonotonia wightii

More commonly known as Glycine vine, this devastating weed from the Fabaceae family is ranked among the top 20 most invasive environmental weeds in South East Queensland. Originally introduced to Australia for cattle fodder, its invasive nature continues to wreak havoc in fragile native vegetation areas such as rainforests, riparian areas and open land.
