Rhein-Main Universitäten (RMU)

The core of the various botanical collections at the Institute of Organismic and Molecular Evolutionary Biology consists of plant samples preserved in alcohol (currently around 3,000 pieces) gathered on research or field trips. This section of the collection traces back to Prof. Regine Claßen-Bockhoff, who first started it in 1985 and has been continuously expanded in Mainz since 1998. Moreover, a collection of dried fruits, seeds and other parts of plants is being used for teaching purposes.
