Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone would be able to send me a few leaves of any "interesting" Galanthus species. Some of my pupils at Morgan Academy have been working on a project to sequence the DNA of chloroplasts from Galanthus and Narcissus as part of a project funded by the royal society. I appreciate that many Galanthus will have finished flowering but now is a great time to get green leaf material as some should still be growing quite vigorously. We already have DNA extracted from a couple of different species (G. elwesii, and G. nivalis) but would like to add as many different species as possible to form a good phylogeny of the genus. We don't need much just maybe 3-6 good leaves to extract chloroplasts and DNA from. If you could also supply the species name and where possible a good photograph that would be great. We are particularly interested to get material from the species listed below but grateful for any suggestions. Many thanks
