The following plants are species we would like to add to our collections. Some are very rare and likely not even in cultivation, others are fairly common but would make useful additions. Parentheses indicate potential or previously identified sources and/or internal notes but are not fully vetted.
Note: Hypothetical Composition is a combination of existing accessions plus all items on wishlist and is intended for internal use.
We also maintain a list of surplus plants that we will occasionally trade with other institutional and hobbyist collections. Please contact the facility manager to discuss potential trades
