The Engler Medal in SILVER

The Engler Silver Medal is awarded annually for an outstanding monograph or other work in systematic botany, mycology or phycology. It is presented at a significant international meeting, congress, or symposium.

In 2002 the original Engler Silver medal was divided into three awards: the Engler Silver Medal for outstanding monographic or systematic works, the Stafleu Medal for historical, bibliographic, and/or nomenclatural aspects of systematics and taxonomy, and the Stebbins Medal for phylogenetic systematics and evolutionary studies.

This Engler Silver Medal has been awarded to the following recipients for the listed works:
