We are performing a study on the ecology and evolution of Rhamnaceae species that has a world-wide distribution, and we are currently searching for seeds of any species of this family in order to perform germination experiments. We would appreciate it if you would like to help in this project by sending us seeds of any Rhamnaceae species (*) preferently from wild populations (to avoid garden varieties and hybrids). If so, please contact María Pérez-Fernández ( ) for details. We especially need Rhamnaceae seeds from South America, South Africa, Asia and New Zealand. Your help will be acknowledged in any report or publication we produce.
We need a minimum of 500 seeds (preferably more), and they should be sent to:
