Abstract

The botanical exploration of Greece from Sibthorp (1786–1787) to the present time is outlined. Biographical sketches are given for the main contributors from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. Important names are Sibthorp, Sieber, Dumont d’Urville, Bory de Saint-Vincent, Grisebach, Heldreich, Orphanides, Halácsy and Rechinger. These pioneers laid the foundations for contemporary research on the Greek flora which is also briefly described.
