You can list the plants you believe you can conveniently contribute materials for molecular analysis.
We like to have plants specimen across Nigeria still and more importantly beyond Nigeria borders.
Dear Conrad, you are not being specific on what kind of plant collections you want to undertake. Please specify on whether it is indeginous plants, trees, crop plants or whatever so that I can assist. Or is it just any plant?
Thanks.
