Thank you for reporting this noxious weed! You're right that there are not a lot of known infestations in Marion County, though it is common in some other places around the state. This particular weed causes a lot of damage and can be difficult to control.
The map shows a different location than the one you described. Please contact me with location information so we can look into it further.
Thank you for using the Oregon Invasives Hotline!
