Aren't there native/indigenous fireweeds?

Yep, plenty of them. the common name is often applied to various species of Senecio (and other non-related plants). A quick count of species for my region shows there are about 10-11 native spp., plus two introduced ones. The plant that this thread is about is Senecio madagascariensis (image from Bega Valley Plants page).
