Legumes, Acacias

Hi all,

Two questions about preparing seeds for sowing:

1.  Do seeds of the legume family generally have to dry out before
they're ready to germinate?  Some seeds I got from a Craibia
zimmermannii and another legume family member are still soft, and I'm
wondering whether there's any point sowing them in that state.

2.  I've collected a variety of Acacia seeds (South African species). 
The seeds seem to be very hard.  Is there a general rule for presowing
treatment of acacia seeds, eg. scarify, or soak, etc?

If this info is in one of the internet databases, I'd appreciate
someone posting it for me - my internet connection is practically
nonexistent at present.

Regards,
Martin
