Description The Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Territory of the Balearic Islands promotes forestry restoration and regeneration projects and plant conservation programmes in the Balearic islands. One of the priorities of this work aimed at safeguarding the islands' plants is to conserve seeds in at least three different seed banks. Thus, the Seed Bank of the Barcelona Botanical Garden holds a collection of seeds in deposit from the Species Protection Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Territory of the Balearic Islands.
Provenance The collection comes from the Balearic Islands: 43 lots of seeds from 10 taxa collected in 2007–2010, and 19 lots of 7 taxa collected in 2008–2011.
