With the wild population estimated at less than 200 individuals, Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens staff have been working with the Threatened Species Section of the Tasmanian Government to establish a conservation collection at the Gardens. So far production from our nursery has replanted 100 of these plants back into the wild. Propagation work continues and the potted nursery collection will also be used to secure seed for long-term storage in the Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre.
