My name is Laszlo and I am a researcher from Romania. I study the phylogeography of some early Spring flowering bulbous geophytes in Europe. If anybody of the members of this forum would be willing to help me with very few dried leaf fragments (and photographs) of the species below I am asking him/her to contact me via email: barthal19@yahoo.com.
The species are: Galanthus nivalis (Il bucaneve), Scilla bifolia (La scilla silvestre), and Leucojum vernum (Campanelle). Samples are needed from Italy or from anywhere in Europe.

Dear Laszlo, I think that you would better specify:
- how much material you need - how many plants/population you need or from how many populations leaves have to be collected - if leaves have to be dried with silica gel or only simply in a paper bag
This may help people to understand if they can help you.

Thank you for your suggestions. Indeed, I would better specify some collecting requirements. I need:
- one leaf or about 1/3 of leaf in case of Leucojum vernum (The plants therefore will not be sacrificed). - sample of one plant per population. Samples of multiple populations are also acknowledged but these should be at least 25 km far to each other. - leaves can be dried either in silicagel or in a book between some absorbent paper. - photos of plants and approximate coordinates of the location of collection also are required.
