Zur Kenntnis der Taxonomie und Verbreitung der Alpenpflanzen

Abstract.: Landolt E. 2006. Remarks on the present taxonomic and chorological knowledge of the Alpine flora. Bot. Helv. 116: 79-90. Recently published Floras of the Alps or of parts of the Alps show that our taxonomic and chorological knowledge of the Alpine flora is still incomplete regarding the morphology, delimitation and distribution of many taxa.

Compared to Floras of the 20th century only few of the many critical aggregates of taxa have been clarified despite new study methods. A proposal is given to survey and improve our information on Alpine plant tax
