Abstract
Gert Gröning and Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn, The Myth of Plant-Invaded Gardens and Landscapes In recent decades the notion of "invasive plants" gained momentum. This article tries to answer the question why there seems to be such a strong interest to create a myth of plant-invaded gardens and landscapes and to manufacture demons of invasive species. It refers to the interest in plants, gardens and landscapes in early human history and focusses upon the development after Humboldt's and Bonpland's Essai sur la Géographie des Plantes (1805) and Haeckel's Generelle Morphologie der Organismen (1866). Examples from German and American sources indicate that what began as an internationally oriented science in early 19th century deteriorated into increasingly reactionary nationalist oriented tinkering with the results of scholarly studies. In early 21st century those who doctrinarily plea for "native" plants often also condemn "foreign" or "exotic" plants as aggressive intruders. They suggest that native plants are peaceful and non-invasive and thus give evidence of their biased viewpoint.
