Abstract
By a theorem of Drisko, any matchings of size in a bipartite graph have a partial rainbow matching of size . Inspired by discussion of Bar\'at, Gy\'arf\'as and S\'ark\"ozy, we conjecture that if is odd then the same is true also in general graphs, and that if is even then matchings of size suffice. We prove that any matchings of size have a partial rainbow matching of size .
