Abstract
Cuphea, Sanvitalia and Zinnia germplasm collections are maintained by the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station (NCRPIS), Ames, Iowa, as part of the National Plant Germplasm System of the United States. A cooperative project was established by the NCRPIS and the Botany Department of the Universidad Nacional Aut6noma de Mexico (UNAM), Mexico City, to organize a collecting trip for these genera. This report summarizes the reasons for, and initial products of, the resulting expedition.
