Andreas Fleischmann

PD Dr. Andreas Fleischmann is a Researcher and Curator of Vascular Plants at the Botanische Staatssammlung München, affiliated with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). His academic roles include Lecturer and Researcher, focusing on plant systematics, evolution, and conservation. He specializes in carnivorous plants (e.g., Droseraceae, Lentibulariaceae), parasitic plants (Orobanchaceae), and mycoheterotrophic species. His research integrates fieldwork, taxonomy, and palaeobotany, with contributions to the Flora von Bayern project and conservation initiatives.

• Key Projects: Systematics of Genlisea (Lentibulariaceae), phylogenetic studies of Heliamphora (Sarraceniaceae), and collaborations on prey spectra analysis in Drosera.
• Recognition: Recipient of the Bavarian State Medal for Special Services to the Environment.
• Lab Affiliations: Section Vascular Plants and Special Collections at the Bavarian State Collection.

Research interests span plant-animal interactions (e.g., pollinator-prey dynamics), historical flora documentation, and biodiversity conservation. Fleischmann actively publishes on carnivorous plant biology, chemotaxonomy, and citizen science applications in taxonomy.
