Seeds of Cichorium (Compositae)

[Annemieke Kiers]

Dear colleagues,

Next year I will start a field trial with wild and cultivated species
of Cichorium. For this I need seeds from the wild species and unfortunately
it turned out to be very difficult to get seeds via different genebanks
and institutions in Europe.
I am interested in seeds from the following wild species:
Cichorium spinosum: Greece
C. pumilum: Mediterranean area
C. glandulosum: Mediterranean area
C. glabratum: Mediterranean area
C. bottae: Yemen, Saudi-Arabia
C. calvum: Egypt

If you have seeds or know where I can find them, please let me know!
