of the journal. Below is a simplified process to help you access the journal.

2. Click on the Members tab,
3. Enter the password when prompted.

The September 2016 edition is currently under construction. Submission of articles and
photographs for inclusion in Carniflora Australis is welcome. Articles on your collection,
growing set-up, cultivation guides, discoveries of plants in nature, CP exploration trips and
photographs of trips make great reading. Please send text and photographs as separate
files to auscps@gmail.com.

MEMBERSHIP
The Australasian Carnivorous Plants Society Inc. is now offering two forms of membership
to cater for those who want to receive electronic versions of Carniflora Australis ($25) and
those who still prefer the printed version ($35). The difference in cost is to cater for the
increase in postage and printing fees of the journal.

EBAY WARNING
For a few months now Chinese sellers have been selling Carnivorous Plant seed on eBay for low prices. Most often Dionaea and Drosera seed is listed for $1.00 from sellers in China and Hong Kong. These sellers are fraudulent in their activities with purchased seed being anything but the seed selected.

The Australasian Carnivorous Plant Society is currently selling seed on eBay Australia. Our seed comes from our members and friends and is guaranteed to be authentic and legitimately collected.
