"In order to obtain plants for this botanical garden, the emperor commissioned the doctor Nikolaus von Jacquin to undertake a research expedition. He travelled with Richard van der Schot and two bird catchers to the Caribbean, Central America and northern South America. The emperor's express order was to only bring back plants that had beautiful and fragrant flowers or edible fruits. In addition to plants, Jacquin and van der Schot collected animals for the menagerie, shells, fossils, coins and objects of ethnographic interest such as masks, jewellery and various handicraft objects. During the trip, the researchers regularly sent boxes of seeds, herbarium specimens and living plants to Vienna. A large proportion of these plants were still unknown in Europe at the time. Jacquin returned to Vienna in July 1759 with a large number of other boxes. The living plants were housed in the greenhouses of the Schönbrunn Dutch Botanical Garden and in the Great Orangery. Jacquin published the results of this research trip in 1763 in the work Selectarum stirpium americanarum historia. The non-hardy plants from this expedition were housed in the glasshouses in the Dutch Botanical Garden and in the Orangery building. "

The botanical garden in Schönbrunn is nowhere near as beautiful as the one at the university near Belverdere. The plants here are not labelled and there is a road running alongside them.
