Mexican Poppy (Argemom mexicana Linn.). 



A rather tall prickly plant with large yellow flowers ; sometimes known as 

 Prickly Poppy, Blue Thistle, White Thistle, Yellow Poppy, or Binneguy 

 Thistle. Stock do not eat it under any circumstances and it is thus a very 

 hard weed to control. It seems to grow all the year round and not to be 

 affected by seasonal conditions ; it inhabits all classes of land and is common 

 on waste areas. 



Disc ploughing before the seed matures has been found an effective control, 

 but this is not always possible. 



It has been proclaimed in New South Wales by the following shires and 

 municipalities : — 



Shires. 



St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum Linn.). 



This plant is most easily recognised by the oil-glands on the leaf. These 

 can be seen when it is held against the light, giving the leaf a perforated 

 appearance. The oil-dots pervade the whole plant, and are mixed with 

 fewer dark-purple, opaque dots, especially on the flower, where the dark dots 

 are frequently crowded along the margin of the' petals, as shown in the 

 illustration. The plant is erect, 1 to 3 feet high, with large yellow flowers ; 

 the under side of the leaves is a paler green than the upper surface.
