Basellaceae

[MICHAEL VINCENT]

Dear Taxacomers:

I am finishing up a treatment of Basellaceae for the Flora of North
America project, and am trying to locate materials of the family for the
treatment.  I would very much like to have specimens of non-cultivated
Basella and Anredera (Boussingaultia) as gifts or on loan from anyone
who knows of them in the FNA range.

I have had loans from several herbaria, but have been unable to find any
specimens of non-cultivated Basella, so I would especially appreciate
those, if any exist.

Please contact me directly at Vincenma at muohio.edu, rather than
cluttering up TAXACOM.

Thank you very much.

Mike
