It is a great achievement for any business to remain operational for 20 years. We can put our success down to some basic principles. We respect our customers. We have been fortunate to have some customers for most of our 20 years of opera- tion. Long term business relationships require good communication, prompt and efficient service and above all high quality seeds that produce the results required. We also treat our seed suppliers and staff with respect and try to work in with their specific requirements. There have been many people who have worked with Jackie and myself over the years and we really do appreciate their assistance. We have always tried to grow the business and look at the best methods we could find that would increase our sales and scale of our operations. The native seed industry has changed greatly over the past 20 years and the ability to adapt to these changes has been very important. The percentage our local sales to export sales has varied considerably over recent years. In the 1990’s the export sales of seed for ornamental plants such as Kentia palms and Castanospermum australe were a big part of our operations. The recent decrease in export sales of ornamental plant seeds has been balanced by the greatly increased sales of selected provenance seed for plantation forestry projects worldwide. The ability to adapt and change our business to meet the current demands has been an important part of our success. Revegetation of mine sites and roadsides using selected local species is now a big focus of our business. The results our cus- tomers have achieved are not only good for the environment but provide the best possible advertising for our seed and our customers’ skill at seed application. It is very pleasing to see the restoration of once barren land to a thriving environment of flora and fauna. The legacy of these revegetation works will be a natural native environment that will go on for many years into the future. Seed quality is vital to our business. We only supply seed of high viability. Our seed is stored in a modern coolroom with temperature and humidity controls. Our seed can be supplied with ISTA seed germination test results at our customer’s request. For our export customers we work in partnership with our freight agent who can always meet our needs. Be it by sea or air freight we can get our seed anywhere in the world in a reliable and prompt manner. Our harvest activities have changed over the past 20 years. With improved safety methods and technological harvest equip- ment our seed yields have increased each year. The variety of species harvested has also grown. We do continue to focus on bulk Eucalyptus and Acacia collection for forestry, revegetation and ornamental uses. Eucalyptus seed is supplied as seed and chaff. This is how it occurs naturally and is what we collect from the fruit capsules. If you require pure seed please ask for a quotation. Provenance seed collections for local and international use continue to be an important part of our business. Our seedlot collection data has continued to be improved and is now available in much greater detail. Our seed is used for many types of plantations where the growth characteristics of the resulting plants are critical to the overall success of these projects. The cost for specific provenance seed needs to be requested and is always at a greater cost than standard collection seed. Pasture and Native grass seed is a developing area of our business. We service several customers in the Middle East with large amounts of pasture seed that will thrive in the difficult climatic conditions of that region. Native grasses are becoming very popular with local revegetation contractors and we are increasing our collection of these species. The prices shown in this catalogue are in Australian dollars. For Australian buyers please note they do not include GST. For any bulk order please request a quotation. We are able to offer substantial discounts from the listed price for large orders. We are always willing to meet any specific requirements you may have. Thank you again to all our customers who have placed orders with us over the past 20 years.We look forward to the future and hope we may continue to be of service for your seed requirements.

    Botanical Name: Acacia Common Name: Wattle Family: Fabaceae Origin: Australia and Africa Habit: Various Habitats Author: Diana Hughes, Mullumbimby

    Botanical Name: Acacia Common Name: Wattle Family: Fabaceae Origin: Australia and Africa Habit: various habitats Author: Diana Hughes, Mullumbimby I like to turn to PlantNET-FloraOnline to learn more about plants. Here you will find a wealth of information about plants, their growing habits and distribution. Much can be learnt from Latin names given, plus the variety of common names attributed to each plant. A more familiar name for Acacia is Wattle - Australia's floral emblem, in this case Acacia pycantha, Golden Wattle, which is native to South Eastern Australia. We have beautiful wattles in our region, most of which are coming into flower now. Mullumbimby is famous for the rare Acacia bakeri, (Marblewood), a rainforest species. It is found on the banks of the Brunswick River, with insignificant white flowers, hidden in glossy leaves. Searches through several websites confirm my fears that many Acacias are considered as needing 'environmental management' - meaning they have weed potential. But who could find a field of beautiful Queensland Silver Wattle an unpleasant sight? Negatively they are 'seeders', and positively, they are nitrogen fixers. Managing the four species in my garden is a pleasure. My pride and joy is an Acacia macradenia, or Zig Zag wattle because its phyllodes (leaves) are arranged in that manner along weeping branches. It's about to flower for the 6th year. Motorists stop to photograph it as it is such a sight. I prune it hard each year. My rear raised garden bed holds 3 different species. The well-known Queensland Silver Wattle, or Mt Morgan wattle (Acacia podalyriifolia) is now flowering.

We found 46 of the 358 described cycad species had at least one element reported to date. The only genus that was missing from the data was Microcycas. Many of the species reports contained concentrations of one to several macronutrients and no other elements. The cycad leaves contained greater nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations than the reported means for plants throughout the world. Magnesium was identified as the macronutrient that has been least studied.

    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.

Turner and Trevor J. H awkeswood Abstract: A new larval host plant, Oxylobium aciculiferum (F. Muell.) Benth. (Fabaceae), is recorded here for the Australian buprestid beetle, Melobasis cupriceps (Kirby) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Buprestinae). Its habitat is briefly recorded and aspects of the larval/pupal chambers are described. Oxylobium aciculiferum has not been recorded previously as a host (either larval or adult) for any other Australian Buprestidae and this is the first larval record from the genus Oxylobium. Melobasis cupriceps has been recorded previously as breeding in the branches of Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd. (Mimosaceae). Zusammenfassung: Der Schmetterlingsblütler Oxylobium aciculiferum (F. Muell.) Benth. ist als neue Wirtspflanze der Larven des australischen Prachtkäfers Melobasis cupriceps (Kirby) (Col.: Buprestidae) festgestellt worden. Habitat und Aspekte der Puppenwiege des Käfers werden beschrieben. Weder Oxylobium aciculiferum noch eine andere Art der Gattung Oxylobium wurde bisher als Wirtspflanze für Larven oder Imagines der Buprestidenfauna gemeldet. Die Vermehrung von M . cupriceps war bisher nur in Zweigen von Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd. beobachtet worden. Introduction The genus Melobasis Laporte & Gory is comprised of at least 80 species found throughout Australia and some in Papua New Guinea (Carter 1923,1929).
