Neophytes

Neophytes – these are plants that are not originally native to our region: the problematic Himalayan Balsam as well as the useful apple tree. Gardener and plant expert Norbert Griebl has identified all neophytes that have become wild here after 1492, based on floras and herbaria. In his comprehensive lexicon, he describes 473 main species and a similar number of subspecies, along with their origin, past and current uses, and the reasons for their spread and naturalization. A complete, well-founded overview for students, specialists, and all those with a deeper interest in botany.
