Of the 245 vireya taxa in cultivation, the largest collection is held at Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (222 taxa), followed by New Zealand (151 taxa) and Dublin Botanic Garden (81). Edinburgh also holds the largest collection of Red List taxa, with 66 of the 80 taxa that are in cultivation, while New Zealand holds 33 Red List taxa and Dublin has 12. Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew holds only eight vireya taxa, including two Red List taxa, and is not a significant collection. There are 23 taxa in cultivation that are not held at Edinburgh; seven are in New Zealand and 22 are recorded at BGCI. Wild-source material is present for 218 of the 245 taxa in cultivation (89 %), including 67 of the 80 Red List taxa (84 %). Further analysis is needed to examine the taxonomic, geographic, and wild-source characteristics of these collections.
