Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and Switzerland

In Slovenia, the Agronomy Department (Oddelek za Agronomijo) at the University of Ljubljana (Ljubljana, Slovenia) holds 16 accessions of H. tuberosus, comprising 14 advanced cultivars and 2 landraces (Frison and Servinsky, 1995 IPRGI, 2006). 

SAVE (Safeguard for Agricultural Varieties in Europe St. Gallen, Switzerland) was reported as holding three accessions in 1995, but these were subsequently offered to Pro Specie Rara when the organization s show farm closed (Frison and Servinsky, 1995 Pavel Beco, personal communication). Pro Specie Rara (St. Gallen, Switzerland), a Swiss NGO, holds up to five accessions (IPGRI, 2006).
