Acacia colei seed
You can’t just collect seeds or cuttings or flowers of any native plants you take a fancy too. You can’t pick any at all, because they are exactly that; Native flora. It’s all protected.
It is important to apply to Department of Envrionment and Conservation for a licence. Here’s the link http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/content/view/863/2002/1/2/
and for SKIPA members we are under the first one listed, “Scientific and other purposes”. It costs just $10.

Thought I’d share this useful website called Wildflowers of the Darwin region. What I like is the way they categorize the plant idents into flower colours… such a useful way of helping you discover what your mystery plant might be. Many of the plants here occur in the Kimberley too. Check the site out:

We are currently collecting seeds of Acacia colei, to use as a pioneer plant in an area of cleared land that needs rehabilitation. If you want to join our mailing list of SKIPs meeting times and activities email skipas@environskimberley.org.au
