II. Herbaria for Excursions and Worldwide Research Projects

The Würzburg botanists have travelled the world as part of research projects and teaching events. Herbarium specimens were collected during many of these excursions and field work, in some cases as document material for publications resulting from these trips. The herbarium has plant specimens from 45 different research trips.

Botanical student excursions to the Alps are a regular course of the Würzburg Botany Department in the summer semester. There are several herbaria from this vegetation zone.
