Hey I was wondering if any members on this forum live in Australia and can trade or sell me some seeds of Hylandia dockrillii /Fontainea picrosperma? 

I know the plant is toxic and should never be used in the raw form but I want to grow it mainly to preserve the species outside of its native range. 

Let me know if you can find seeds or know of a local Australian nursery that sells seeds internationally.

They are really hard to get even for locals.

I think it is still possible to find this species but it would have to be someone who lives in Australia and knows someone who is selling it. 

Yuruga Native Plant Nursery used to sell it according to this article:

What is the difference between Hylandia dockrillii and Fontainea picrosperma? Are the seeds ok to add to smoothies?
