The Last Great Acquisitions<br />
The loss of the German colonies, the world economic crisis, the<br />
de clining interest in economic plants, a concentration on plants<br />
growing in the wild and a change of priorities led in the inter-war<br />
period to individual scientists increasingly <strong>und</strong>ertaking collecting<br />
trips, even if often only in the Mediterranean, for example to the<br />
little known Albania, to Macedonia and Turkey.<br />
An expedition by Ludwig Diels in 1933 to Ecuador was related<br />
to plans for a large-scale, but never realised flora of the Andean<br />
lands, which was to have complemented in a westward direction<br />
the Flora Brasiliensis completed in the Berlin Botanic Garden and<br />

Furthermore, the institution acquired the collections of others,<br />
for example seeds, cuttings and preserved plants collected by the<br />
private scholar Joseph Rock from then totally unknown areas such<br />
as East Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan. The largest ever collection<br />
acquired by the institution was the 200,000-specimen ‘Ausserrheinisches<br />
Herbarium’ of the Naturhistorischer Verein der Preussischen<br />
Rheinlande <strong>und</strong> Westfalens (Natural History Society of the<br />
Prussian Rhineland and Westphalia), which arrived in Dahlem<br />
in 1936. The exchange of seeds, herbaria and publications via the<br />
established network of contacts with like-minded institutions and<br />
collectors brought further accessions from all over the world. HWL<br />
