Do you know the Bantöffelichlee, the Guufechüssi or the Määlbaum? Botanist Andres Klein and his co-authors have compiled 630 dialect names for 170 plants for their recently published book. And they got to the bottom of the names.
Museum.BL is showing nine of these plants from its botanical collection, the herbarium, with their dialect background: where do the names come from and what do they mean? The portraits are complemented by artist Ursula Pfister. Her installations will make you smile and puzzle.
"Dittiblache & Hemmliglunggi": in the museum foyer and in the exhibition "Wildes Baselbiet. On the trail of animals and plants"
