Since its introduction from South Africa in 1908, bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata) has invaded over 80% of the NSW coastline. Bitou bush forms dense infestations that smother vegetation and communities from the fore dune to hind dunes, covering coastal grasslands, heathlands, woodlands, swamps, wetlands and forests. Bitou bush is now considered the single greatest threat to NSW coastal biodiversity and ecosystems.
