Echium vulgare, (Viper's Bugloss) is said to have got to Australia by the
seeds becoming entangled with the fleece of Dorset Horm (and maybe also Dorset
Down) sheep exported to Oz to improve the stock. It is fairly common on
Portland whence I have just returned from dosing my bees with oxalic. I saw a
drone in one hive!
