Cutleaf burnweed
Senecio glomeratus
Erechtites glomeratus, common name New Zealand fireweed, or cutleaf burnweed, or (in Australia) fireweed or Cluster-headed fireweed, is a species of plant in the sunflower family. It is native to Australia (all 6 states) and New Zealand, and also naturalized on the Pacific Coast of the United States (Washington, Oregon, and California).
The name accepted by Australian authorities is Senecio glomeratus, and this is also the name accepted by Plants of the World online. The name Erechtites glomeratus is considered by APNI to be illegal.
