Plant Protection Regulation 2002 – Inspector’s Approval No 7.2 Page 2 of 8 INSPECTOR'S APPROVAL 7.2 APPROVED CONDITIONS (G to H) Required Certification: Plant Health Certificate or Plant Health Assurance Certificate. G. Mature green condition (avocado, babaco, banana, lime, and papaya only) Fruit from a host plant listed in Part B of Appendix 1 that come from within 7.5 km of a Medfly infestation may enter Queensland if harvested in a mature green condition. For avocado: hard condition means the flesh is not soft or softening, the skin is not cracked and the skin has no pre-harvest cracks, punctures, pulled stems or other breaks which penetrate through the skin and that have not healed with callus tissue, on any part of the fruit that have been deliberately detached from healthy branches of living trees. For babaco and papaya (non-defective flowering type only): mature green condition means hard, not soft or softening, or having any isolated soft areas on any part of the fruit and with no more than 25% of their ripe colouration when assessed over the entire surface area. For banana: mature green condition means the flesh is hard and not flexible, the skin is green and shows no yellow colouration except for areas towards the flower end of a fruit where the sun has bleached the skin but the flesh beneath is still hard, and has no pre- harvest cracks, splits, punctures or other breaks that penetrate through to the flesh. For limes (Rangpur Lime, Tahitian Lime and West Indian Lime): mature green condition means free of any yellow colouring with unbroken skin. H. Unbroken skin (durian, lychee, mangosteen, passionfruit, pomegranate, and rambutan only) Fruit from a host plant listed in Part C of Appendix 1 that comes from within 7.5 km of a Medfly infestation may enter Queensland if at the time of harvest its skin has not been broken and its flesh has not been exposed.

A table is given show- ing the geographical distribution of 20 species of Triticum, 3 diploid, 10 tetraploid and 7 hexaploid, six of the species are endemic in Georgia and Armenia: the diploid T. urarthu, the tetraploids T. timopheevi, T. palaeo-colchicum, T. chaldicum and T. carthlicum and the hexaploid T. macha, Transcaucasia is also considered to be the place of origin of T. vulgare. The 20 species are described in turn; they comprise 4 wild species, T. aegilopoides, T. urarthu (2n = 14), T. dicoccoides and T. chaldicum (2n = 28) and 16 cultivated species. A number of synonyms are indicated for most of the species.

Annona reticulata is a small deciduous or semi-evergreen tree in the plant family Annonaceae.[4] It is best known for its fruit, called custard-apple, a name it shares with fruits of other species from the same genus: A. cherimola[5] and A. squamosa[6] or sometimes it is called wild-sweetsop, bullock's-heart, or ox-heart. The flavor of the fruit is sweet and pleasant, but less popular than that of A. cherimola. Description It is a small deciduous or semi-evergreen tree reaching 8 metres (26 ft) to 10 metres (33 ft) tall with an open, irregular crown.[7] Stems and leaves The slender leaves are not hairy, straight and pointed at the apex (in some varieties wrinkled), 10 centimetres (3.9 in) to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) long and 2 centimetres (0.79 in) to 7 centimetres (2.8 in) wide.[7] Flowers The yellow-green flowers are generally in clusters of three or four 2 centimetres (0.79 in) to 3 centimetres (1.2 in) diameter, with three long outer petals and three very small inner ones.[7] Fruits and reproduction The fruit is variable in shape: heart-shaped or spherical.

For some important crops, the Centre of diversity of related wild species is also presented. These wild species are important sources of genes useful to man when incorporated in cultivated crops. Hence such wild species have to be included in genitor collections for breeding. For some cultivated species, the region of diversity could not be identified. Future research may show where they have come from.
