Importation of ariocarpus

Question

Hey fam, 

 

Recently purchased some seeds being sent as ariocarpus sp.

 

Customs have siezed them and asked me to identify them. I said mixed and she said that only some ariocarpus are legal and some are not.  

 

Does anybody know for sure which ariocarpus sp are allowed into Australia? If I tell them an illegal sp they will destroy them. 

 

Much appreciated

be a good start, you'll find ariocarpus species listed that are allowable in, will be up to date.

Takes a bit digging around, its a dog of a site IMO.

 

Even if its a legal species, theres a chance they will destroy them. They are still going to want hard proof I reckon.

Hey cheers for the heads up man,

 

I ended up finding a permitted seeds list and after a while of going through it found a couple of names and sent an email so fingers crossed.
