Question about National Plant Germplasm System
    #7725943 - 12/06/07 07:48 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Hey everyone...

I recently stumbled upon this sitehttp://www.ars-grin.gov/npgs/orders.html while searching for seeds, and it looks like a really great resource for seeds and cuttings. They have a crazy amount of different species of plants and even some pretty obscure ones. It even says that everything is free to those who send a request. The only thing stopping me from ordering is the fact that it says specimens are only available for scientists and researchers. Has anyone ordered seeds/cuttings from this resource successfully? If you have, how did you do it? Thanks.

I have obtained seeds from this source, but did get an email from a botanist there who had interest in the Hyoscyamus species. Apparently our correspondence removed his doubts and I ended up donating some obscure Hyoscyamus sp. collections that I have and they sent a large packet of various seed that I requested.

In short, don't expect to just enter a request and the seeds arrive in the mail. Be prepared to professionally answer follow up correspondence.

I never have a problem with them, I tell them it's for university research, which is pretty much the truth. I even got a bunch of acacia rigidula, and phalaris brachystachys seeds from them..

I never got my Tea plant though...

Thanks for the information. I just ordered from them and said I was going to use the cuttings for hybridization experiments...so I think I should be fine. I ordered some Hyoscyamus niger, Coffea arabica and some other assorted plants. I did make up a fake organization though, do you think that this will be a problem? I guess the fact that I am dealing with the government is sketching me out a bit.

Use the closest university for organization.
