    United States Department of Agriculture Plant Inventory Agricultural Research Service No. 217 Plant Materials Introduced in 2008 (Nos. 652416 - 655520) Foreword Plant Inventory No. 217 is the official listing of plant materials accepted into the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) between January 1 and December 31, 2008 and includes PI 652416 to PI 655520. The NPGS is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS).
