It may include: budwood, bulbils, bulbs, corms, cuttings, grafting wood, leaves, pips, plants, rhizomes, roots, seedlings, slips, stems, tissue cultures, tubers and any other tissue imported for purposes of propagation.

Provided they have been propagated in an inert medium and have sprouts no more than 2.5 cm long, and the leaves have not expanded, they may be treated as seeds and released after inspection. |
