How to identify non native species which are established in bushland habitats?  These are often referred to as weeds when in our bushland. A weed is simply a plant growing in the wrong place, and are often plants brought into the country or state as a garden flower, but have escaped and thrived. Some may be farm pasture plants which have similarly been able to spread into our native bushland.  Check these useful links.
