In January the South Australian Seed Conservation Centre got a nice surprise when one of its images of the Large Mudwort (Limosella curdieanavar. curdieana) found its way to the front cover of Japan-based international journal, Journal of Plant Research.
The plant was collected from pools amongst the rocky outcrops of Bimbowrie Conservation Park.
The Seed Centre team collected plant specimens and seeds on their travels Olary Ranges in the North East pastoral region in September 2008, with the images and notes uploaded to its Seeds of South Australia website, which contains information for over 2,600 plant species.
The site is a treasure trove of images and data on South Australian plants, and it provides information to assist community and industry-based restoration projects.
And – as the Journal of Plant Research front cover demonstrates – if often attracts the interest of plant lovers, organisations and scientists from interstate and around the world!
Check out a few of the other weird and wonderful places the Seed Centre’s images have recently popped up:
