This online resource focuses on Australian flora, giving information and insight into a number of non-indigenous plants commonly known as weeds. It also function as an exchange node for facts and stories.
The aim of this project is to rediscover the traditional knowledge, celebrate the multiplicity of cultures in botanical terms, and learn the legal status of such plants.
The framing of �illegal� and unwanted flora within a cultural context will draw attention to the concept of �permissible species� as a social construct. Weeds are defined by a nation's law, and what is declared weed in one place may be a precious resource in another. There is a significant metaphorical connection between this definition of �weed� and the arbitrary restriction imposed on human migration by national governments.
