 History and Current Status of Systematic Research with Araceae
Engler was 21 years old at the time of Schott's death and produced his first major publications in 1876 (Engler, 1876a-b), 11 years after Schott's death, while working at the Munich Botanical Garden.
Engler apparently had much more material available than Schott had seen but he seems to have paid little attention to living material.
Together with Engler, he was responsible for the writing of the Das Pflanzenreich treatments of the Monsteroideae (Engler and Krause, 1908), Philodendroideae-Philodendrineae (Krause, 1913), and Colocasioideae (Engler and Krause, 1920); however, Krause completed the Calloideae alone (Krause, 1908).

A brief summary of the writings of Adolf Engler, and other nineteenth century botanists, pertaining to these disjunctions and their bearing on an understanding of vegetational patterns in the northern hemisphere is also given.
Engler was convinced that the distribution of extant plants was the result of disruptions in ranges, changes in climate, migration, and evolution, and he placed the greatest importance on past geological and climatic events as the causes.
Engler postulated that the plants now restricted to the two disjunct regions were once more widespread further north, "as the Arctic flora now is," and that they had migrated southward as the climate cooled.

Engler Schott was followed by the even more prodigious worker, Adolf Engler, who was born in 1844 [see biography by Diels (1931)].

 Bessey's dicta (30-Jan-03)
In this system the flowering plants were supposed to have originated along two independent lines from unknown, wind-pollinated gymnosperms similar to the modern conifers.
Engler and Prantl supposed that the evolution of typical modern flowers involved the progressive development of a perianth, and the eventual expression of both genders within a single strobilus.
The Engler and Prantl system was followed in most herbaria around the world, and in a great many of the floras written in the 20th century.
