A yearly catalogue of botanical gardens serves for being part of transnational scientific dialogue. While listing the plant species in the collection, a catalogue invites crossovers and initiates interrelations.

Along with the rejections of our attempts to enter the herbarium, our request for reaching the current catalogue of the botanical garden was rejected for the same reason: Not handling a "scientific" practice. This motivated us to create an alternative catalogue of the botanical garden that traces the Last year's herbarium.  Adding to the rejection of the regulations of scientific cataloguing and titling practice, the Last year's catalogue aims to create an alternative transnational network of plants by being able to spread the catalogue around the Earth. Therefore, each audience can have a piece from the catalogue and the traces of the entangled life of plant species in the garden spread around the Earth via audience.
