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?
