<br><font size=2 face="Arial">></font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">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?</font>
