Why is this listed as being introduced or native to a lot of places, none of them Australia, while the picture is from Brisbane? 67.169.94.126 (talk) 19:30, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit problematic—the picture is from Brisbane, and is apparently really E. velutina, but I haven't been able to find a source that lists the tree as occurring in Australia. Ucucha 19:35, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
