The article deals with different botanical gardens in Vienna. These places of knowledge in the 18 th century are constituted to operate science professionally. Different forms of gardens and practices document various opinions of science. Nikolaus J. von Jacquin forms the centre of botany in Vienna. Botanical Travellers have taken plant from all over the world, from the periphery to the centers, the botanical gardens in Europe. Symbolized by collectors the contribution of worldwide plant material is visualised as plant geography in the first map of the distribution of plants.
