Please follow the post naming convention: Wikipedia Article Title - Short Synopsis

Here's a fun one that isn't from Australia!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_mantegazzianum
Causes burns if you touch it and then expose the part of your skin that touched the plant to the sun!
Lime juice can do the same thing! Heard it called margarita burns.
Ha yeah, it’s a plant we must notify to the waterways management society in my area. It’s invasive and pretty nasty.
Without checking, I'm guessing it's the gympy gympy aka suicide plant.
