The first complete Photographic Atlas of Plants of the Czech Republic

We support the creation of the first complete Photographic Plant Atlas of the Czech Republic.

The book will include about 3100 plants in 9 thousand photographs. In total, over twenty botanists from four universities, two research institutes and two museums are involved in its preparation. Over 100 photographers are also involved.

The atlas is unique in that it will contain photographs of all wild species, including important identifying features. Virtually all native species, commonly occurring non-native species, the most important hybrids, subspecies and varieties (the most common or widespread, easily recognisable) will be included. Of the cultivated plants, only those that are very frequently cultivated or commonly weeded will be included. In 2027 the book would undergo final revisions.

You can still support the creation of the book. You can get involved not only in the photography, but also by making a financial contribution to the society or by becoming a patron of part of the book. Currently the book has 21 patrons.
