Section

Phanerogams I + II

The two sections work closely together and curate the higher plant collections (seed plants) of the Herbarium Senckenbergianum Frankfurt/M. (FR).

Scientific research essentially focusses on studying the diversity and evolution of selected angiosperm groups and phytodiversity and its change under human and climatic influence.

For our research we use a wide methodological spectrum from field work and morphology to molecular genetics, phylogenetic and biogeographical analyses. Another part of our research deals with species inventories, plants distribution and their changes through the impact of man and climate (especially in West Africa and the region around Frankfurt/M.). Online available biodiversity databases are another important issue.

The research thus falls into the Senckenberg research fields “Biodiversity, Systematics and Evolution” and “Biodiversity and Environment” as well as in several projects into the research area “Biodiversity and Climate“.

The Herbarium Senckenbergianum

Collection

The Herbarium Senckenbergianum in Frankfurt/M. (FR) comprises about 1.5 million collections in total and ranks among the largest herbaria in Germany.

The phanerogams amount to ca. 3/4 of this number. On average we receive an annual accession of some 10.000 specimens from exchange, donations, and own collections. Loans are generally made only to research institutions acknowledged in the Index Herbariorum.

Founded in 1817 with the Senckenberg Natural History Society, it harbours a number of important historic collections, e.g. J. R. & J. G. A. Forster, J. B. G. W. Fresenius, G. Gärtner, W. P. E. S. Rüppell. Most of Eduard Rüppell’s types from NE Africa are extant, detailled information here (in German).
Incorporated herbarium: DANV (1 Jan 2018).

A list of collectors, our “Index Collectorum Herbarii Senckenbergianii”, was published in Courier Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg vol. 217 (Conert 1999). An updated version is available here (in German).

Our type herbarium presently includes about 4.000 specimens and is estimated to be more than 6.000.

Geographically, the collection is focussed on Hesse and Central Europe. There are however particular regions for which the collection is rich. These include Ethiopia, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Japan, Europe, the Mediterranean, the Mid-Atlantic Islands and the West African Savanna regions (esp. Burkina Faso, Bénin, Nigeria). The West African herbarium is presently being expanded and was digitized as part of the BIOTA W11 Project.

Searches are possible through the Senckenberg collection management system SeSam and its successor, the new database system AQUiLA. Further collections are constantly added.

Systematically, the collection is especially rich in Poaceae.

This collection is part of the Herbarium Senckenbergianum.
