In 1990, Wachtler discovered two new species of primitive conifers in the Dolomites, Voltziales dolomitica and Voltziales ladinica, which represent one step in the evolution of this group of plants. He also studied the petrified remains of the plant Bjuvia dolomitica, a primitive cycad, which he described together with the Dutch scientist Han van Konijnenburg - van Cittert.〔http://www.biologiezentrum.at/pdf_frei_remote/CAR_193_113_0449-0454.pdf〕 During this period, he successfully published his first books and documentary films about the life of crystal hunters in the Alps and the history of the formation of the Dolomites.
