Help with Milium effusum

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Torbj=F6rn?= Tyler]

Hi!
> 
> I am a PhD-student working on the geographic distribution of genetic>  within-species variation in various woodland plants. At present my main>  interest is in Milium effusum. I am concentrating on Euroasia and the>  European subspecies (ssp. effusum) but, for comparison, I would very much>  like to have some material of the North American ssp. cisatlanticum as>  well. However, this far I have not been able to get any living material>  from America of this species. Now I hope that you are able to help me,>  either by collecting some seeds for me from one or more native American>  population of this species, or by forwarding this message to those of your>  colleages whom you think may be able to help me.
> 
> What I need is living seed material from distinct native populations. If>  possible, I would like to get bulk population-samples from c. 25 different>  plants in each population, but, since I have no material at all from>  America at present, every single seed of American origin would be of great>  interest to me. In northern Europe the seeds of Milium are just beginning>  to ripen at present and I guess that it will be approximately the same>  timing at the American sites. So, if you know a locality for this species,>  or happends to encounter it during some fieldtrip, I would be very happy if>  you could simply collect some seeds for me!
