Our clients base is very diverse, and includes landscapers, developers, nurseries, land care groups, government departments, mining and construction companies, farmers, researchers and schools. SEED PRICES Seed prices vary a lot between species, and generally reflect the availability and the degree of difficulty in harvesting and processing the seed. Seasonal conditions, availability and demand can have significant effects on market prices in the short term. Please contact us for pricing and availability, preferably by email if your species list is large, or call us if you prefer. Quotations will remain valid for 30 days, but availability will be subject to prior sale. SPECIES LIST A list of species that we usually stock follows. Species names are those current in Florabase. Names that have recently changed are shown in brackets. If you are unable to find a species in our list, please contact us to check if the name has been changed. Please do not hesitate to enquire about southwestern WA native species that you may require which are not listed in our list, and we will be pleased to endeavour to source them for you. Please feel free to contact us if you require further technical information, including information on seed counts for particular species CONDITIONS OF SALE Prices All prices we quote are in Australian dollars. Unless otherwise stated, they exclude Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10% , which will be applied to all sales. Most species are sold by weight. A few species (eg Banksia, Macrozamia and Xylomelum) that are more variable in seed size are sold by seed numbers instead of weight. Minimum Order Value Our minimum line item charge is $15, and our minimum total order value is $90.00. Additional charges Additional charges will be applicable if smoke, scarification, or hot water treatment of seeds is requested. Dispatch Orders will generally be dispatched within five working days of receiving order confirmation, unless otherwise instructed. Ownership and responsibility passes to the purchaser when the goods are posted or collected by a carrier. Insurance can be arranged on request, at extra cost. Postage & Handling Unless otherwise advised, we will mail orders for delivery in Australia, our current rates for which are: · up to 500 grams - $15.00, up to 3 kg $20.00 and up to 5 kg $25.00. · over 5 kg, and Express Post or courier, or international delivery – POA.

  • Integrated Approach to Nitrogen Fixing Tree Germplasm Development
    INTEGRATED APPROACH TO NITROGEN FIXING TREE GERMPLASM DEVELOPMENT JAKE HALLIDAY' ABSTRACT - The performance of nitrogen fixing trees introduced to new environments depends on proper reconstitution of the symbiotic associatioi on which the trees rely for their nutrition. Thus selection strategies employed to identify adapted g.rmplasm for particular sites must provide for three-way selection of seed, rhiobia and mycorrhizae. Selected lines must then be multiplied before they can be deployed in varying types of development programs. Speciai problems are faced in accomplishing these ends with virtually all nitrogen fixing tr-es. Results and experiences are described which emphasize the importance of parallel selection of plant germplasm and Rhizobiurn strains. '.n the case of VA mycorrhizae, effective symbioses can occur without specific inoculation. Methods for selecting and multiplying trees and their microsymbionts on a large scale are described and discussed. Index terms: mycorrhiza technology, Rhizobium technology, nitrogen fixing trees, plant selection, seed technology.

  • Southern Gulf, Queensland
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Palatability of Plants to Camels (DBIRD NT)
    Technote No. 116 June 2003 Agdex No: 468/62 ISSN No: 0158-2755 The Palatability of Central Australian Plant Species to Camels Dr B. Dorges, Dr J. Heucke, Central Australian Camel Industry Association and R. Dance, Pastoral Division, Alice Springs BACKGROUND About 600,000 camels (Camelus dromedarius) are believed to inhabit the arid centre of Australia, mainly in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Most of these camels are feral. A small camel industry has developed, which harvests selected animals for domestic and export markets, primarily for meat. Camels can eat more than 80% of the common plant species found in Central Australia. Some plant species are actively sought by camels and may need to be protected. METHOD Observations of grazing preferences by camels were made periodically for up to 12 years on five cattle stations in Central Australia. Where camels were accustomed to the presence of humans, it was possible to observe their grazing preferences from a few metres. Radio transmitters were fitted on some camels for easy detection and observation at any time. These evaluations were used to establish a diet preference or palatability index for observed food plants. Table 1. Palatability index for camels Index Interpretation 1 only eaten when nothing else is available 2 rarely eaten 3 common food plant 4 main food plant at times 5 preferred food plant 6 highly preferred food plant 7 could be killed by camel browsing More information can be obtained from the web site of the Central Australian Camel Industry Association http://www.camelsaust.com.au 2 RESULTS Table 2.

  • Version 2 Targeted Threatened Flora Search Proposed Demonstration Trail Mount Clarence Albany
    Unit 5A 209 Chester Pass Road Albany WA 6330 9842 1575 [email protected] ABN 48 138 824 272 Job Ref: COA011 7th December 2016 Sandra Maciejewski Reserves Officer City of Albany PO Box 484 Albany WA 6331 Updated Report – Version 2 Targeted Threatened Flora Search Proposed Demonstration Trail Mount Clarence Albany Dear Sandra, On the 26th October 2016 Botanists/Ecologist, Karlene Bain and Bianca Theyer (Bio Diverse Solutions) undertook a targeted linear threatened flora search of 840m for a proposed mountain bike alignment at Mount Clarence, City of Albany (refer to Attachment A for the survey area). This survey was required as there was potential for threatened flora to be present within the subject area and there is proposed clearing of native vegetation as part of the proposed bike trail. The scope of work included: Undertake Targeted Flora Survey across subject site through linear sampling (10m buffer) in vegetation types present and mapping of boundaries of vegetation; Undertake any identification of any flora species, including herbarium identification if required; GPS and map any populations of Threatened Species (if applicable); and Prepare brief report on findings as per appropriate government agency legislation and guidelines. It is noted this survey was undertaken during the spring flowering period. The threatened flora search of the linear bike trail found that the Mount Clarence reserve is a diverse habitat with four vegetation types mapped, being: 1. Granite outcrop and fringing Taxandria shrub land; 2. Tall Gastrolobium shrub land; 3. Open Jarrah/ Marri woodland; and 4. Coastal heath. In November 2016 an occurrence of Stylidium falcatum (P1) was found (5 plants) on laterite soils associated with a cleared alignment for a powerline, on the edge of the jarrah/ marri ecotype.
