Suddenly it is of utmost importance? We are such a small place that we should know that any invasive species of plant or animal should be eradicated so it would have helped to know the origin right from the start. There are far too many plant species living unchecked already, Bamboo, Spanish pepper, Indian Laurel, Elephant Ear, Schefflera, Casuarina and others were all introduced as pretty house plants or ornamental trees/plants. They have all taken over. Obviously this is an unintentional introduction but should have deserved a more immediate tracking model. IMO.
