We traveled to southern central Siberia in order to collect Armoracia sisymbrioides. We are indebted to Dr. Dmitry German, as well as the staff at the South Siberian Botanical Garden in Barnaul, for field assistance and logistical support. In addition, we traveled to Tomsk where Marina Obnova (Tomsk State University) and Mr. Dima helped us to locate additional populations. Thank you!!
