  Amsinckia
Amsinckia is a Regionally Controlled Weed in the Glenelg, Goulburn, North East and East Gippsland Catchment and Land Protection Regions.
Lanholders in areas where amsinckia is Regionally Controlled must take all reasonable steps to control it and prevent its spread on their land and the roadsides which adjoin their land.
Amsinckia originated in North and South America and was introduced to Australia late in the nineteenth century.

 Fiddleneck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fiddlenecks are the genus Amsinckia of flowering plants in the borage or forget-me-not family Boraginaceae.
They get their name from their flower stems, which bear a large number small flowers, and curl over at the top in a way that somewhat suggests the head of a violin.
Seaside Fiddleneck or Woolly Breeches, Amsinckia spectabilis: Found on the Pacific coast of North America from British Columbia to Baja California, and on offshore islands, at heights of up to 300m.

The Common Amsinckia or Fiddleneck, Amsinckia menziesii, is a native wayside and field weed, found throughout our area, often in great numbers.
The amsinckia has two prominent features that are to a degree common to all Boraginaceae, (1) bristly stems, leaves, and flower parts, and (2) flowers that bloom from below upward on an unrolling stem--a feature known botanically as a "helicoid (or "scorpioid") cyme," a feature from which the common name "fiddleneck" was derived.
The name Amsinckia was bestowed to honor a benefactor of the Hamburg Botanical Garden, William Amsinck in the 19th C., a man who probably had no connection to his namesake plants.

Selection in Amsinckia tessellata populations growing in two burned areas (one fire in 1993 and another in 1995) are being compared to populations in adjacent unburned areas (Fig.
However, the burned environment is a more benign habitat for Amsinckia tessellata (based on population size and growth), creating the possibility that selection in unburned areas may act to tightly maintain current optima while selection in burned sites may be suspended for a time until perennial vegetation regains a more dominant position in the community.
Soil in former fertile islands may also be enriched by the decomposition of the burned shrub roots (the principal perennial shrub (ca.
