See Botanic Gardens Conservation International and browse for plant species at: http://www.bgci.org/plant_search.php. When you get the list of the Botanical Gardens which can provide seeds of demanded species, you will have to send a request to each of them and, with a little luck, the seeds will arrive by regular mail to your stated address.
Thank you for your interest in help me. I am looking for seeds of carrot wild relatives.
The genebank collection of Warwick : http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/wcc/gru/collections/
and the genebank collection of IPK at Gatersleben both have carrots and their wild relatives. Seeds for research purposes is usually readily available from both genebanks.
Dear Mark
Thank you very much for your information! We received already seeds from Warwinck and at this moment we are waiting for an answer from IPK. Nevertheless, both germoplasma banks don't have accessions from Africa, South América, Australia, New Zeland, India, Russia and Indonesia. This is our problem... to find material from these regions.
Thank you once again for your help!
And did you try AVRDC? They do have Daucus from Indonesia and other countries, but perhaps not the wild relatives.
