New Schmeil-Fitschen has appeard

19 February 2019

The Schmeil-Fitschen (Die Flora Deutschlands und angrenzender Länder) has been the standard work for determination of plants from Germany and adjacent regions for more than 100 years. Since the 96th edition (2016), Prof. Rohwer is co-editor of this Flora. Now the 97th edition has appeared. Based on experience in the determination courses, the keys have been improved further, and about 350 taxa newly established in the region of the Flora have been added in this edition, so that it now allows determination of almost 5000 species and subspecies.
