Silver Senna (Senna artemisioides ssp. artemisioides)Observer
pufferchungDescription
I found it in front of a store.
An imported species from some irresponsible cultivators.
There are many drought tolerant native Senna in Texas, why do we need a Senna from Australia?
You know soon this species would spread everywhere.
