I'm looking for non-Australia/New Zealand Corybas. I'm not actually a grower ... (honestly, I just killed my Phalaenopsis--terrestrials are way out of my league, though I love to see them in the wild). I'm looking for tissue for DNA extraction for a molecular phylogeny of the genus Corybas sensu lato. Dried leaf tissue would actually be best, but seeds or bulbs would work too. A picture of a flowering plant should be sufficient as a voucher. I have an almost complete set of taxa from Australia and New Zealand, but I am strongly lacking in Asian species. Anyone growing Corybas pictus, or any other Asian species, who might be able to help me out? I'm at a CITES-registered institution, so receiving specimens is not a problem--but sending them might be.
I can offer a small amount of financial compensation, and acknowledgment in a scientific paper (when I get around to publishing ... ).
