BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF BRITISH AND IRISH BOTANISTS COMPILED BY JAMES BEITTEN, F.L.S. SENIOR ASSISTANT, DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY, BBITISH MUSEUM AKD G. S. BOULGEE, E.L. S., F. G. S. PROFESSOR OF BOTANY, CITY OF LONDON COLLEGE LONDON WEST, NEWMAN & CO 54 HATTON GARDEN 1893 LONDON PRINTED BY WEST, NEWMAN AND HATTON GAEDEN PEEFACE. A FEW words of explanation as to the object and scope of this Index may fitly appear as an introduction to the work. It is intended mainly as a guide to further information, and not as a bibliography or biography. We have been liberal in including all who have in any way contributed to the literature of Botany, who have made scientific collections of plants, or have otherwise assisted directly in the progress of Botany, exclusive of pure Horticulture. We have not, as a rule, included those who were merely patrons of workers, or those known only as contributing small details to a local Flora. Where known, the name is followed by the years of birth and death, which, when uncertain, are marked with a ? or c. [circa) ; or merely approximate dates of "flourishing" are given. Then follows the place and day of bu'th and death, and the place of burial ; a brief indication of social position or occupation, espe- cially in the cases of artisan botanists and of professional collectors; chief university degrees, or other titles or offices held, and dates of election to the Linnean and Eoyal Societies.

  • SL Magazine Summer Edition 2017-18
    –Magazine for members Summer 2017–18 Painting by numbers: Ferdinand Bauer Message Dear readers, visitors and friends, What a privilege it is to be State Librarian, responsible for one of the best loved and most important institutions in Australia. Since I began on 28 August, I have encountered nothing but enthusiasm, good will and a broad desire to see the Library continue to flourish and grow — a tribute to the three State Librarians with whom I have worked over the years, Regina Sutton, Alex Byrne and Lucy Milne. I also pay tribute to a remarkable generation of recent curators and librarians, now retired, including the likes of Paul Brunton, Alan Davies and Elizabeth Ellis. This time next year the Library will be a very different place — with more of its unique treasures on public show than ever before thanks to a great partnership between the NSW Government and our benefactors led by Michael Crouch AC, who is driving a major development of new galleries in the Mitchell wing, and John B Fairfax AO, who is behind a new learning centre being created in the same building. You can find a little more about the plans for the next phase of the Library’s history inside these pages, but I would like to mention a special event in November which draws attention to another very important aspect of the Library’s work — collaboration with scholars and scientists. For some years, the Belalberi Foundation (led by Peter Crossing AM and Sally Crossing AM) has generously supported original research into Australian natural history at the Library, and on 16 November we are launching a book and special online exhibition marking the culmination of this remarkable, long term project.

  • Global Affinities: the Natural Method and Anomalous Plants in the Nineteenth Century Lorelai Kury
    HoST - Journal of History of Science and Technology Vol. 15, no. 1, June 2021, pp. 39-70 10.2478/host-2021-0003 SPECIAL ISSUE GLOBAL FLORA: MASTERING EXOTIC PLANTS (EIGHTEENTH—NINETEENTH CENTURIES) Global Affinities: The Natural Method and Anomalous Plants in the Nineteenth Century Lorelai Kury Casa de Oswaldo Cruz, Fiocruz, Brazil [email protected] Sara Albuquerque IHC-Nova FCSH, Pólo Universidade de Évora, Portugal [email protected] Abstract: Approaching from an analysis of the work of Robert Brown (1773-1858) and Friedrich Welwitsch (1806-1872) on Rafflesiaand Welwitschia, this article explores how the “natural method” became a tool for understanding extra-European flora in the nineteenth century. As botanists worked to detect “hidden affinities” between plants that would enable them to identify the so-called natural families to which even anomalous species belonged, they relied on comparison as their basic methodological procedure, making it essential for them to have access to collections. In their scientific writings, professional botanists tended to steer clear of any emphasis on plant exoticism. While botany engaged in dialogue with various types of approaches, the field essentially normalized the exotic. The article’s exploration of the hermetic style of scientific texts and the way botanists incorporated illustrators’ work sheds light on the complexity of the spaces where natural history was done, in a context where plants were circulating from around the globe.

The Story The War of the Austrian Succession (1740 - 1748) was a dynastic war, initiated by the European powers to counter the legitimate claim of Maria Theresa Habsburgs (1717-1780) to maintain control of all her family possessions, when her father, the Emperor Charles VI, died in 1740. Federick II of Prussia was the first to act. He invaded Silesia as he wanted to reach a glorious military success and the beginning of his reign. Maria Theresa reacted prompted, and two alliance sides formed for the war with all the major European countries and many minor states involved. In 1745 war extended to Italy where France and Spain were in arms against Austria and and her ally, Savoy. After a sound defeat near Alessandria, the following year the Austrian side soundly defeated the French-Spanish army at the battle of Piacenza, which marked the end of the French-Spain attempts to defeat Maria in Italy: "I want to hope that this event will dispel from the minds of my enemies the desire to totally banish myself from Italy" Highlights * regimental-level warfare in the Age of Reason * highly interactive sequence of play, focused on manoeuvre 1 / 2 Other C18 : Piacenza 1746 (War of the Austrian Succession) * formations move in "linear mode", the typical way of fighting a battle at that time * a 22" x 25" fine-art map , based on ancient map of the battle * detailed order of battle * limited play time Components: 22" x 25" map of Piacenza and its southern area 216 5/8" (large) die-cut counters Rule booklet Chart Boxed Designer: Enrico Acerbi 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever.

  • Options for the Risk Management of Bushfires in the Blue Mountains A
    A FIERY DEBATE—PUTTING ANGER ON THE BACKBURNER "Snow and sleet are falling on two bushfires burning in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney." ABC Radio news, 15 November 2006. Spoken without a trace of irony, the words of the newsreader encapsulate the extraordinary, and sometimes perversely unpredictable, nature of life in this landscape forged by fire. The Grose Valley holds a special place in the hearts of Australia’s conservationists, being the site of the first great victory for the movement in Australia in 1931-32—but it would not be as we know and love it if it were not occasionally shrouded in smoke rather than mist. However, coming after a long period of drought and amidst dire warnings that Australia is facing an even hotter and drier future, the most recent fire in the Grose Valley has reignited an increasingly heated debate over fire management practices, both within the local community and further afield. (As a result of these concerns, the Blue Mountains World Heritage Institute hosted a forum on the Grose Valley fire in February, the outcomes of which are discussed on page 3.) So with bushfires predicted to increase in both frequency and intensity, how do we protect people and property whilst preserving the biological integrity of the World Heritage Area? How well do we understand the ecological responses to fire? Are we managing fire risk in the most appropriate way for both the community and the environment? The Blue Mountains Conservation Society has organised a meeting to examine these issues—come and hear five experts in fire management and ecology give their views, with the opportunity for questions and discussion afterwards.
