110 years after Franz Vollmann of the Bavarian Botanical Society published his \u201cFlora of Bavaria 1914,\u201d the last comprehensive overview of Bavaria’s flora, a new, comprehensive \u201cFlora of Bavaria\u201d was published in 2024. This four-volume mammoth work is the result of more than 50 years of intensive floristic recording, mapping, and documentation of the flora throughout Bavaria. More than 200 volunteer citizen scientists collaborated on the project, which was coordinated by the Botanical State Collection of Botany in Munich.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The now-printed work comprises four volumes with a total of almost 3,000 pages. Among the 5,886 plant clans that have been identified in Bavaria are 4,778 species, 1,313 subspecies, 109 varieties, and 708 hybrids. The book contains thousands of color distribution maps, photos, and detailed species texts written by over 60 authors. Species that are particularly typical or rare for Bavaria are shown in their natural habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new Flora of Bavaria is edited by the Bavarian Botanical Society, the authors Prof. Dr. Lenz Meierott, PD Dr. Andreas Fleischmann from the Bavarian State Collection for Botany (SNSB-BSM), Marcel Ruff from the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU), J\u00fcrgen Klotz and \u2013 posthumously \u2013 Dr. Wolfgang Lippert (former curator at the Bavarian State Collection of Botany).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
