Hi everyone,

Acacia pelagica !  Ever heard of it?  I came in this morning to find a
message on Taxacom.  I seriously recommend that we watch for this
potentially serious problem, especially for coastal waters, inland salt
lakes, and eutrophic and oligotrophic ponds, streams and rivulets.

Go to http://florabase.calm.wa.gov.au/ and click on the Acacia pelagica
report.  This might be serious!
