Abstract
Plant material was collected during numerous field tours and expeditions. The geographic origin of the investigated specimens and the species nomenclature are summarized in Table 1. Details are given at http://www.wsl.ch/dendro/xylemdb/index.php. Clearly, the largest fraction of plants (about 80%) originated from Europe. Species from outside Europe served mainly to enlarge the taxonomic range and to demonstrate anatomical similarities between tectonically early separated regions.
