Abstract
There is enormous potential conservation value in the ability to establish new populations of rare plants. When combined with ex situ source material, reintroduction offers valuable and otherwise unavailable conservation options. Indeed, reintroduction of material stored ex situ has made the difference between extinction in the wild and continued survival.
