I am a biologist with the USDA-ARS in Ithaca, New York. My supervisor, Dr. 
Lindsey Milbrath and I are developing a biological control program for the 
exotic invasive swallow-worts, Vincetoxicum rossicum and V. nigrum. In 
preparation for assessing the host range of potential arthropod control 
agents for the swallow-worts, we are accumulating related plant species 
(nearly 60 species is our goal). I have included the list of specific 
species relevant to our current efforts. We are willing to accept all 
forms of live plant tissue whether it be whole plants, vegetative cuttings 
for propagation or recently collected seed. Your assistance is greatly 
appreciated to any extent you can offer. Perhaps there are seed purveyors 
and or colleagues that come to mind that you might refer us to?
