I have generated a new world with some additional plants.  I know these plants will grow on a farm plot because I have played them in areas which had Elven and Human merchants.  Now I am playing on a large volcanic island which has only Dwarven caravans.  These, of course, do not bring surface crops.  I have sent my herbalist harvesting in regions with trees with the same biome, and only the same biome, as my added plants, but they have found none.

Is my herbalist just having bad luck, or do added-in plants not grow in the wild?

There's your problem.

Thank you!  That error is in all of Pickerel's plants, which is where the cacao bush came from originally.

In previous versions that's how biomes were done, so not so much an error in his plants, but that they are outdated.

Well, regardless of whether that's how it used to be, that was the issue preventing him from finding his plants.  Hence, it was the problem at hand.
I don't see where my statement was wrong.

I don't see where anyone is claiming your statement is wrong.
