Let us know how you go if you do order, preferably how many years you get
Mate, please use the search engine and check out subjects related to the importation (Australia) of the materials you mentioned.

Did you find any variation in flower colour, etc with the seedlings?

I came across this cute sensitive plant recently, wondering what it was and found a pic to id it today. its really sensitive like mimosa pudica but has no thorns and has yellow flowers. Anyone have refs of what it may contain? I'll have seeds shortly.

what's the myth? That Desfontainia contains scopolamine?

I can post the following from Ratsch about kinnikinnick. The basic ingredient is bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), I don't know if you can get this out here or if it is quarantine restricted.
The smoking blend sagackhomi consists of equal parts tobacco and bearberry.
The ceremonial pipe tobacco of the Blackfeet contains equal parts wild tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) and sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata).
a popular ritual blend, blackberry leaf (rubus sp) califonian poppy, catnip, comfrey leaf, mullein, raspberry leaf, spearmint and virginia strawberry leaf. no mention of quantities.
another one, equal parts damiana, lobelia inflata, passiflora incarnata and mentha aquatica.
it seems they used a lot of stuff for their smoking blends, not necessarily active ingredients on their own but thru the blending they were active. datura is a large part of many mixes.

did you grow the seedlings from seed you collected, or did they pop up in the pot around the motherplant? I had some little shoots pop up too (around motherplant) and thought they were seedlings, but they were actually root suckers.

I just never got around to instigating it... oh well for bodo.

yep that's the one we collected in Cairns rev. The closest thing i could find to it was Turnera ulmifolia var. subulata. I'm guessing someone has created a few varieties because of its ornamental value, they're pretty awesome flowers.
I have a pic of another Turnera from Germany BG, I think angustifolia, it had that weird smell too. do you have a pic of that turnera you found rev?
-
perhaps a slight sense of well being, i had a slight headache before and now its gone. It has a hairy, mucilaginous taste. Not bad, would need more work as you say.
We used to have heaps of bees and night moths so I don't know, I reckon it needs cross-pollination, all these plants are clones. Good luck though!
-
i've only found one seed pod on heaps of plants, best to separate any suckers that come up. Seeds look like the damiana ones u find in bags of herb, little kidneys.
Probably a tincture would be good. I think i may go out and chew a leaf ^_^
-
They will tend to die down in winter, they have a really great root system, so much so that you may find it popping up out of your garden bed, etc as they do have a great ability to sucker.
Tantra made a post a year or so ago and he found it to be as good in effect to Turnera diffusa for him. I reckon its got a wierd smell
but you've got a fair bit of experience with real damiana so know what to look for. The flowers are probably the same, maybe nicer to eat....

LOL, I'll harvest some today and give it a try. I wonder what time of day to harvest? The cows seem to know...

thanks for the info Apothecary

plants of the gods mentions latifolia and then starts on diphylla
here's some pics I took today. I noticed there may be other species in australia, so I'll do some research and see which it is. I have latifolia seeds anyway, plus some proper id'd diphylla seedlings.

Medicinal herbs of Chhattisgarh, India having less known traditional uses. 102. Chari Van (Zornia diphylla, family Papilionaceae).
As the cattle feed on this herb and consume it with taste, the natives of Chhattisgarh Plains have named this wasteland herb as Chari Van. Aware of its high nutritive value, many cattle owners add this herb or its seeds in small amount with the diet of sick cattle or pregnant cows. They are aware that over dose can cause harmful effects. The herb collectors of Bhopalpatnam region informed me about unique observation. They claimed that many herbivores feed on this herb but at specific days and time. Their observation clearly indicates that these herbivores are aware of its specific medicinal properties and uses. With the help of these herb collectors, I am trying hard to get some solid information. Chari Van occurs as wasteland herb in different parts of Chhattisgarh. The traditional healers of Chhattisgarh specialized in treatment of Mirgi (Epilepsy) and other related troubles frequently use this herb. They also use it in treatment of insanity. According to them, in small doses this herb reduces the symptom of over excitement in patients having insanity. This is a matter of surprise that very few traditional healers of Chhattisgarh are aware of its medicinal uses and most of them are senior healers having age over 80 years. It is a matter of investigation that why the healers of young generation are not taking interest in this herb. The presence of other promising alternatives for these troubles may be the reason, but many senior traditional healers informed about its specific action and effect, that are not possible with the so called promising alternatives. In reference literatures, the use of Chari Van roots to induce the sleep in Children is mentioned. The traditional healers of Chhattisgarh are not aware of this use.

Anyone have some info on this plant? The only ref. i have is plants of tthe gods which states the dried leaves are smoked as an hallucinogenic subsitute for cannabis. Maconha Brava means false marihuana. Found some plants and was wondering if they are relatively safe to test.

Does this have anything to do with you moving to Lady Street, Rimbaud? ^_^

Acacia bodoconmaniana

Acacia phlebophylla seeds
I wonder if they collected them here or someone did for them? Probably not available anyway.

i recall Piers Gibbon's film where he gets frog poison injected into his back by a tribe in the amazon, he said it was a feeling your going to die and morbid stuff and then on the way out of it just feeling great that you are going to survive. So i guess that is one example of going down before coming up, but the same could also be said of strong doses of mushrooms, etc. you usually feel the best on the way out.
Zornia diphylla
in Ethnobotany

No, nothing yet
I'm pretty sure what I found is Zornia dyctiocarpa, not diphylla, so I'm not sure about that one. Will do some more research. I will have diphylla material in a few months once my plants are big enough.
