waterdragon Posted October 27, 2002 isn't this aka sensitive plant? if that be the case then give gem or sass a hassle about it. i've seen it run wild in the areas north of cairns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thaNNers Posted October 27, 2002 Yep, this is the sensitive plant I think this is a nice ornamental plant to have. I remember when I was a little kid that I use to play around with this plant. It has been declared a weed in WA though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thaNNers Posted October 28, 2002 DazedSol: Thanks for the offer mate! I'm actually looking for a source more closer to home (no offense) for time and cost reason etc. I'll let this thread go for a while and check some offline sources, otherwise I guess I'll be getting back to you.

Guest reville Posted October 28, 2002 Peyote is a weed in WA that gives some idea of the scientific objectivity of the assessments. If you live in the southern states im pretty sure you can grow M pudica with environmental impunity. I would recommend againts it in NT. Qld and NW WA where it could easily go weedy.

Auxin Posted October 28, 2002 "Peyote is a weed in WA" Well, I'm sure there are LOTS of people willing to do a little 'ecological repair' to rid WA of that infestation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what I thought but Torsten explained in an earlier post that it is classified as a weed because of the danger to cattle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
