This is interesting. If you live in QLD class 1 are the ones you can be fined for growing.

They want to eradicate the Cloncurry prickle plant…surely it performed a dooty in its’ native habitat?

Leucaena isn’t there :( and I see it is still recommended as a cattle fattener “properly controlled”… which in my mind means never letting it go to seed…

I hope that doesn’t soon apply to Hedychium coronarium because I have just asked a friend for a piece of hers. I want it for it’s perfume which is just gorgeous. Hedychium coronarium is almost identical to Hedychium flavescens.

“Hedychium coronarium” is not mentioned in this list that I can see?

Cloncurry prickle plant is not a native…it was “introduced to stabilize soils”… as if we don’t have our own plants that can do that, e.g. gidyea…

Thanks for that info. bubba :)
