Hi everyone,
I'm a PhD student working on a project about extensive green roofs. The main
goal is to find a set of new mediterranean species with good drought tolerance
so this type of green roofs could be more commonly applied in mediterranean
climates (where the ecological and economical benefits would be even more
pronounced than in the temperate climate).
I conducted a field work study in Southern France and achieved a species list,
but for the experiment I need to find seeds of some typical mediterranean
species. The company 'B & T World seeds' has a large collection, but I wonder
if there are other sources where I could find seeds.
I'm particulary interested in finding seeds of some of the following less/not
commercial available species: Sideritis romana, Paronychia capitata, Filago
pyramidata, Hippocrepis ciliata, Linum strictum, Neatostema apulum, Teucrium
botrys, Trifolium stellatum
If someone could give me some information, I would be very grateful!
Thank you
Carmen
