Aizoon pubescens (Coastal Galenia)
Aizoon pubescens (Galenia or Coastal Galenia) is a low-growing perennial herb in the family Aizoaceae. It is native to South Africa (Cape Provinces, Free State, and Northern Provinces) and naturalised elsewhere.
In Australia, the species is naturalised in Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory, Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales. In New South Wales, under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993, it is regarded as a noxious weed in the Liverpool Plains and Tamworth regions.
The species is disliked by some beekeepers. Although it produces nectar profusely and bees like it, the nectar makes honey taste slightly bitter.[citation needed]
