Recorded in general vicinity in 2012, but should be a priority for control.

Hello.
I went out and had a look at the site. There are no flowers or fruit and a large number of vines. The leaves appear more oval and less leathery than moth vine we have had at nearby locations, so I am inclined to think it is a native species, most likely Marsdenia rostrata. I will keep an eye on the site and do a thorough inspection in spring to see any flowering.
Thanks for your input, Adrian McBeth NSW NPWS
