Bagging Conospermum (i)
Bagging plants of Conospermum hookeri (Tasmanian Smokebush) for seed collection in Doctors Peak Forest Reserve, northeast Tasmania.
Conospermum hookeri is a threatened Tasmanian endemic. It is listed as Vulnerable at both the State and Federal level. Bagging as a collecting technique for Conospermum was trialled last year as part of federal funded project to collect Phytophthora vulnerable threatened species. The technique proved to be very effective and so we are repeating the process with additional provenances.
