I was just adding some additional information as verification for those unaware.

Xanthorrhoea glauca subsp. angustifolia

These specimens may be X. johnsonii, however, I can detect no morphological characteristics that separate these from X. glauca or X. malacophylla based upon the photographic images. A description of the leaf colour (green or glaucous) and characteristics (easy to snap when flexed or resistant to break, or hard and resistant when compressed between thumb and forefinger or spongey-like), and cross-section leaf shape (taken mid-way the length of the leaf), could be used as determinants to assist with a species ID.

This observation appears more like X. glauca or possibly X. malacophylla than X. johnsonii. The crowns are very full and heavy, the tall specimen in the second image looks to have at least two crowns, and although X. johnsonii may develop multiple crowns, the species is largely unbranched and simple. Whilst these plants may be X. johnsonii, and without the presence of any flower spike, leaf close-up, leaf colour or cross-section profile, I can detect no morphological characteristics that can determine these specimens to species level. Tapirlord, out of interest, what identification markers did you use to ID these as X. johnsonii?

Yeah its not confirmed as X. australis, you've suggested the species its already recorded as

Xanthorrhoea glauca subsp. angustifolia

I think the short petiole and prominence of secondary veins - makes it more likely to be a plum. In any event yes it is a weed for cutting and dabbing

Prunus sp.
