Vilmo! Kde jsi koupila tenhle kalendář?!!

Narrow-leaved ragwort (Senecio inaequidens) is the plant of the year 2025 in the Czech Republic. In previous years, the Czech Botanical Society awarded this title to endangered species, but this year, we chose an alien species whose invasion is taking place at breakneck speed right before our eyes.

Expansive plants are native but behave similarly to alien invasive plants and can also have negative impacts. The first catalogue of the expansive flora of the Czech Republic includes 126 taxa, with the regions and habitats, where they spread. preslia.cz/doi/preslia.2024.299.html

Preslia, a peer-reviewed scientific journal of the Czech Botanical Society, publishes research papers on plant systematics, morphology, phytogeography, ecology, vegetation science and Quaternary palaeobotany, with a geographical focus on central Europe.🌿🍁🌳 We start on Bluesky! www.preslia.cz
