I have some seeds for the Nikau Palm (Rhopasoltylis sapida) which were
declared at quarintine, checked and allowed through. Just noticed that
on the back of the packet, it states "Please do not try to take these
seeds into Australia".

Does anybody know if they are likely to cause problems?

According to "Palms in Australia" by David Jones (first published 1984)
there are examples of the nikau palm growing in the Melbourne, Adelaide,
Sydney and Brisbane botanic gardens. So it is here in Oz already. I
can't imagine a botanic garden culturing a "problem plant".
