Tropical Plants - Australia

WANTED Browneopsis sp or ucayalina plant/seed

7 years ago

Hi there!

I've had a dream plant goal for a while now and I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge about where to find any Browneopsis sp or ucayalina's within Australia or can be legally shipped over? Or if anyone had any seeds to sell by super luck and chance?

Also side note, it's just such a beautiful plant right?!

Thanks!

- a hopeful but realistic plant lover

Thanks, Ron. I believe it is a monogeneric plant. Heathen and Jerry, here's the site where I got my seeds from. Feel free to contact Jim West for seeds-he's great to deal with: http://www.ecuadorexplorer.com/guaycuyacu/fruits_1.html IMHO, $300.00 for this plant is utterly ridiculous, but I'm not sure if charging an inflated price is any worse than not willing to disclose a seed source. I have no qualms about sharing seed sources (and I can bet Jim West was also the seed source for this fellow). My philosophy is that if more people can avail of the rarer species, so much the better. Growing botanical rarities should be a truly democratic exercise, not the prerogative of a select few :-) ! Marcelo
