Abstract
This chapter analyses progress and the current status of ex situ conservation of 739 species of 27 genera of forage legumes in relation to their natural distribution. Analysis is based on passport data of individual accessions. As such, the scope of the chapter is restricted to those collections for which the authors have been granted access to accession-level passport data in machine-readable format.
