The activities of the Dendrological Society in Průhonice have significantly influenced the introduction of woody plants into the territory of today‘s Czech Republic. This is evidenced by a significant handwritten document – The Register of plants of the Dendrological Society that records the introduction period between 1909 and 1924 (10,050 items). The collections of seeds (plants) from E. Taquet, H. Shirasawa and J. Unger played an important role in the introduction of woody plants to Průhonice with over 157 taxa of woody plants from their collections being introduced between 1909 and 1912. From the total number of 157 taxa, 80 items were introduced to Průhonice before anywhere in the Czech lands. This work aims to provide a new knowledge acquired from studying the above-mentioned document, about the time and place of these introductions. A significant part of this work is a detailed overview of the particular woody species introduced to Průhonice
