Araceae have long been a focus of research at the Munich herbaria (M and MSB) and botanical garden. This ancient family of monocots comprises 117 genera and 4,100 to 5,400 species.

The project “Flora of Munich” started 2006 at the Bavarian State Collection for Botany, initiated by the curator Dr. Franz Schuhwerk, who sadly passed away in 2013, and supported by the Bavarian Botanical Society.

The Flora Silvae Gabretae (or Flora of the Bohemian Forest) is a biologically unique area of Central Europe, which deserves special attention in the research and documentation of its biodiversity and its protection.
