 This is one of the purest natural sources of DMT, which occurs as the predominant [[alkaloid]] throughout the plant.  However due to conservation issues this species is not considered a viable source of tryptamines, as outlined below. A much more common species such as ''[[Acacia obtusifolia]]'', should be researched instead.

 DONT extract from live plant, plant under threat. Phyllodes that have been shed remain active for very long, only harvest from phyllodes that are on the ground.
-* Care must be taken with this species as it consists of one population or metapopulation which has been ravaged over the years by bush fires and fungal infections. Acacia phlebophylla is listed as rare and threatened by the Victoria Department of Sustainability and Environment. There is significant concern for the viability of this population, particularly with the threat of fungal pathogens and other disturbances. (A particular species of local wasp may be associated with the transmission of this fungal pathogen.)
+== Other uses ==
-* Though there are many accounts of bountiful regrowth, this species should not be used for the extraction of drugs for conservation reasons. Attempts at ex-situ cultivation have been mostly unsuccessful and have usually resulted in plants dying at 3 years. If cultivation is successful, it is important that plants are allowed to mature and produce seeds for eventual rehabilitation rather than used for tryptamine production.
+== Cultivation ==
-* Healthy plants exist in private gardens near Gatton, Qld, as well as in Ireland, indicating the plant is not as recalcitrant in cultivation or restricted to its alpine environment as was once thought.
+This species does not like growing anywhere other than its natural habitat. It has been transplanted to other alpine regions, similar climates and entirely different habitats - all without success. Growth is vigorous in the first 2 years, then slows in the third year, after which the plant usually dies within a few months. Grafting onto the closely related Acacia maidenii is also unsuccessful. The plants on Mt Buffalo are largely affected by galling. This appears to be the result of a parasitic insect, apparently itself an endangered species. As a secondary infection there also appears to be a fungus promoting the galls. As Mt Buffalo has suffered under drought for the years 1998 to 2002, most plants have suffered greatly. Moving from one plant to another, especially if touching or 'taking samples' may promote the distribution of the disease and may cause more damage. Some areas are quite obviously more affected than others.

 '''''Acacia phlebophylla''''', a type of [[acacia]] also known by the names '''Buffalo Sallow Wattle''' and '''Mountain Buffalo Wattle''', is a straggling [[shrub]] to small, twisted [[tree]] reaching up to 5 m in height. It is a close relative of ''[[Acacia alpina]]''.<ref>[http://www.worldwidewattle.com/speciesgallery/alpina.php?id=23545 World Wide Wattle]</ref>
 Highly restricted range, one location, endangered. Should only be cultivated.
