Rod has just asked me to repost this note to the medit-plants list as he
is having some problems with his email address being recognised by some
servers:
>As the person in Agriculture Western Australia that has to vet any
>plant species entering the state its probably worthwhile explaining the
>system.
>
>We no longer have a single list of "Prohibited or Noxious weeds"
>that are not allowed to enter this state.
>
>We have two lists.
>One is a list of "Permitted species", plants that have
>been assessed as not being a weed risk or are naturalised or native
spp.
>in this state.
>The other is the list of "Prohibited species" or species that are known
>significant weeds
>that effect the environment, primary industries, human heath or any
>combination of all three.
>Many of the spp. on this "Prohibited List" are not in Australia and of
>those that are most are not in
>Western Australia.
>The few that are here are "Declared Plants" which need to be controlled
>by the landholder.
>
>The permits Susan mentions refer to disease free requirements, as our
>horticultural industries here
>and therefore our gardeners do not have to experience a huge range of
>insect pests and plant pathogens
>because we are so strict on the importation of plant material. Live
>plants need to be treated with an insecticide
>and a fungicide as per the Plant Health regulations.
>
>From my point of view a "purple flowered Clematis" is not enough
>information to determine wether or not
>the species is even on the "Permitted List".
>The prospective importer or exporter would need to provide the correct
>ID of the Clematis.
>It may well be that it is already on the "Permitted list", if on
neither
>list I would need to assess it.
>
>Currently the "Permitted List" stands at over 9306 entries which
>represents well in excess of 20,000 taxa.
>(or about 40% of the taxa likely to be cultivated in Australia, a long
>way to go yet)
>The "Prohibited list" has 1767 entries.
>These lists has been the basis of the last 2 and a half years of my
work
>and while some people deride lists
>and the artificial nature of their restrictions on trade, I've seen the
>problems that
>introduced animals, plants and pathogens create in our environment
>(I've 14 years exposure to that damage).
>If I can make a small difference its worth it.
