Pull it in spring when it emerges, hopefully often enough that it dwindles after 2 or 3 seasons. Is that a large area or just single clumps? And make sure to wear gloves, the plant is toxic and the plant sap can irritate the skin. Bye,Lin

Carissa - Natal Plum

I think it might be Leptospermum petersonii. The flower in the photo appears to only have part of it remaining.

TerraceTC, this could be one of many types. How tall are these leaves? Your leaves look rather thin and bendable, however kirkii leaves are quite thick and have a distinctive heavy 'keel' on the back side of the midrib, making them fairly rigid. I don't see this 'keel' on the reverse side of leaves in your pic. This could very well be a species called S. aubrytiana, given the pattern and width of the leaves. Google some pics of this species and see if it's a match other than the washed-out color of your plant. Aubrytiana is bright and cheery in correct light, in my opinion one of the more attractive of the tall, flat leaved species. Your sans appears to be in too much sun, being so light-colored. You might move it under a shady tree where it gets high light but no direct sun after 10 or 11 AM. I think in more shade you will find its colors will be much brighter and more beautiful. Interesting you are in India. While almost all sans are in Africa there are at least two species native to your country, one is roxburghiana. It comes from your Coromandel Coast if that's anywhere near you. The other is 'Bandipur', from the area of Bandipur, Ghats. Not wanting to appear like I have this location data stored in my own memory, it comes from the great sansevieria explorer, collector and hybridizer B. Juan Chahinian's book 'The Splendid Sansevieria'.
