For those who would like to learn more: the ARS-Davis site we have been refering to is one of several USDA Germplasm repositories located in the U.S. and abroad. Each repository specializes in certain plant groups. If you are looking for plant material from a specific plant, you can look it up at the
GRIN Taxonomy site. If instead you want to see what is at a particular repository (poorly maintained by some sites), start at the
GRIN Plant Collections web page.
