Native to Central and South America, Chromolaena odorata (Siam weed) is a dense, tangling bush and can scramble up trees to 20m, having a growth habit like lantana. Siam weed can cause skin complaints, it has caused cattle deaths due to high nitrate leaf levels, and dry dense thickets fuel hot and intense bushfire. Siam weed has naturalised in northern Queensland, with large infestations in tropical area around the Tully River, Bingil Bay, Townsville, Mossman, and other areas.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV>", "summary": "Map layer extracted from Biosecurity Queensland pest distribution survey displaying distribution of individual invasive weed species.", "title": "Siam weed (C. odorata)", "tags": [ "weeds", "pests" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "© State of Queensland (Department of Agriculture and Fisheries), 2023", "licenseInfo": "" }
