Spurge overtaking hillside
Noxious weed Euphorbia myrsinites surrounds probably and grows over other vegetation. The tall grass in the middle is also an exotic, Thinopyrum ponticum or Tall wheatgrass (syn. Elymus elongatus,Agopryon elongatum and others). Smaller green grass to far left is Festuca saximontana that is locally native but is probably not a local genotype. So this has become a living biological dumping ground.
