These data are important for ensuring that a diverse genetic sample of each species can be protected in long term, offsite, conservation collections indicative of public gardens. The botanic garden community was surveyed to report on living collections, and the data were compiled to assess the proportion of wild-sourced individuals and their geographic coverage. Ecological background information was compiled for each species, and gaps in geographic coverage were identified. These data will be used to guide future collecting efforts and ensure that these species have increased protection from natural disasters within wild populations. |
