How to read this map
Each pin sits at the approximate centre of a plant's native range — where its wild ancestors grew and where people first brought it into the garden — not where it's grown today. Background shading groups the world into six biogeographic regions; a darker region simply means more of the plants here come from it. Origins follow Kew's Plants of the World Online, USDA GRIN, and the Vavilov centres of crop origin. A few cultivated plants have no certain wild origin; those are noted as such.
