Please note: plant images are always welcome if they fit our requirements: (1) authors allowance (2) high resolution image file (3) plant characteristics are perceptible (4) date and location are given.

Useful advices for photographers:

  • a scale next to the plant is helpful, e.g. a coin or a ruler
  • different views on the same plant are helpful (top view, front view, habitat view)
  • the inflorescence is often the most impressive part, but in order to identify the specimen a closer look at the leaves, stem, and habit is unavoidable
