The Collection of Aquatic and Wetland Plants of the Institute of Botany AS CR in Třeboň was founded in 1976 with the aim to enable ex situ studies of threatened plant species. Since that time the Collection has provided plant material for experiments, repatriation of threatened species, taxonomical studies, and botanical illustrations for the compendium Flora of the Czech Republic. It is also used as an educational collection for university students and public. Since 1998, the seeds from the Collection (about 150–200 species each year) have been collected and offered for exchange to other institutions and botanical gardens within the Index Seminum. The Collection of Aquatic and Wetland Plants is located in the Section of Ecology of the Institute of Botany in Třeboň on an area of about 0.04 ha and its current design come from 1997. The Collection includes more than 400 species grown in outdoor containers and in a greenhouse. The overwhelming majority of these species are native to the Czech Republic; the others are mainly from other parts of the northern temperate zone. The Collection of Aquatic and Wetland Plants is the largest collection of living higher aquatic and wetland plants in Europe and one of the largest collections in the world.
