Bitou Bush
 

 
One of Australia's 20 worst weeds, and arguably the number one weed in New South Wales, bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera) blankets coastal dunes, forming vast impenetrable monocultures.
 
Like so many weeds, it was introduced deliberately as a garden plant. Photographed at Port Kembla.
