Seeds are collected from the Akureyri Botanic Garden and from
spontaneous plants in the Icelandic countryside (mainly from neighbouring
Eyjafjörður). All seeds are the result of open pollination. Seed viability and
correct identification cannot be guaranteed.
The Index Seminum program does not allow for sale of seeds, instead they are
made available by exchange to botanical institutions for plant research,
educational, land restoration and conservation purposes.
Seeds and the results of their propagation are not to be used for commercial gain
without first obtaining permission from the Akureyri Botanic Garden. Please
credit the seed source if used for educational purposes.
Seed collection was prepared by:
Travis Þrymur Heafield (MSc, Plant Systematics)
Guðrun Krístin Björgvinsdóttir (Horticulturalist)
Jóna Sigurgeirsdóttir (Gardener)
