Scientific name corrections for plant species listed in BICON

Effective from 13 February 2019

The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has made corrections to the spelling of scientific names for a range of plant species in BICON.

The scientific name changes to species are listed in Table 1 (below).

Who does this notice affect:

Importers of plant material (nursery stock and seeds for sowing), brokers and Department of Agriculture and Water Resources staff.

Import Permits:

Import permits have not been varied to reflect these spelling changes, as a number of these species are not believed to be commonly imported.

Any importer who has concerns about their existing import permit containing one of these species, may request a variation of their import permit. Please contact the department via email at imports@agriculture.gov.au (please include the following in the title of the email “Scientific name change – Plant T2”).

Background:

Plant Imports Operations are undertaking reviews of scientific names in BICON, to validate listed names. The review is being completed in stages, with this update covering species from A – G. Any further changes to scientific names will be advised through an additional BICON notification.

Further information:

Please contact Plant Import Operations on 1800 900 090 or email imports@agriculture.gov.au.
