The major part of the Collection consists of botanical correspondence from South African botanists and from others all over the world to Harry Bolus and his niece H M L Bolus, and to the Bolus Herbarium at the University of Cape Town, after it was established there. There is also a large section of botanist's lists, registers and collecting diaries. Biographical information on Bolus Herbarium staff members and details of salary scales, work records, diaries etc are in Section B. Most of the staff biographies were compiled by Mrs M R Levyns. Harry Bolus's Herbarium Library Catalogue 1865-1911 is also in this section. Photographs of the Bolus family and their home 'Sherwood' in Kenilworth, and of many of the botanists, whose correspondence and plant lists are in the collection, are in Section F. See also 'The Bolus Herbarium and Library 1865-1985 by Diana Rex in Jagger Journal No. 5, 1984/85 I N T R O D U C T I O N BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Harry Bolus was born in Nottingham, England in 1834. He came out to South African in 1850 as an assistant to William Kensit, a trader of Grahamstown, whose sister Sophia, he afterwards married. After a period in Port Elizabeth, they went to Graaff Reinet where H B worked for an insurance and trust company until 1874. In 1875 he joined his brother, Walter, in Cape Town as a partner in Bolus Brothers, Stockbrokers. An earlier interest in botany had been rekindled by Prof F Guthrie of Graaff Reinet and with great dedication H B acquired an extensive knowledge of the subject. He journeyed throughout South Africa, studying the flora, especially that of the Cape Colony and encouraging correspondence from people who were interested in the plants of their own areas. In this way knowledge of South African flora was greatly increased. Frequent visits were made to Kew in England, taking supplies of botanical specimens for study and comparison, his own particular interests being orchids and Cape heaths. About these he wrote a number of articles and works, including that on the Ericaceae for Harvey and Sonder's 'Flora Capensis' and many treatises on orchids. Bolus bursaries did much to encourage the study of botany and in his will H B left his herbarium and botanical library to the University of Cape Town, providing for their upkeep and expansion. The Chair of Botany was named in his honour in 1917. Harriet Margaret Louisa (Kensit) Bolus became curatrix of the Bolus Herbarium, serving it devotedly for nearly 60 years, and even after her retirement, until her death in 1970. For more than 10 years, before her uncle's death in 1911, she had been his secretary and companion as well as his assistant in his herbarium and library. She was herself a botanist of international repute, with special interests in mesembryanthemum and Erica.

    The Intimate Politics of the Cape Floral Kingdom

    The intimate politics of the Cape Floral Kingdom Book Review The inTimaTe poliTics of The cape floral Kingdom Book Title: The production of scientific knowledge about the Cape Floral Kingdom is, today, the exclusive preserve T.P. Stokoe: The man, the of professional botanical scientists, and the legions of amateur botanists, loosely organised in the myths, the flowers branches of the Botanical Society nationwide, now labour under their direct command. However, this was not always the case. Little more than a century ago the roles were reversed: local study of the Cape Book Cover: Floral Kingdom was the exclusive pursuit of wealthy amateurs, one of whom, Cape Town stockbroker Harry Bolus, endowed the first chair in botany at the University of Cape Town (then the South African College) in 1902. His private herbarium of more than 30 000 specimens followed a decade later, together with a further bequest of £27 000.00 for its upkeep. Scientific botany thus took up residence at the Cape as the handmaiden of amateur botany: as groundsmen tending its public gardens, nurserymen dispensing seed and cultivation advice for its private gardens and gamekeepers enclosing the floral commons against the depredations of the underclass. Professional botany’s scientific enquiry was similarly shaped by its amateur patron’s preoccupations. Alongside taxonomy – the staple of 19th century botany throughout the British Empire – permanent residence lent Cape Town’s amateur botanists a particular preoccupation with ‘plant geography’ – the division of the subcontinent into ‘floristic’ regions on the basis of plant distribution. They were encouraged and assisted in this by the colonial state’s construction of railways and creation of forest conservancies, which opened up Cape Town’s hinterland, particularly the mountains, to recreational Authors: exploration by the urban middle class.

  • Erica Verticillata, from Extinction to Restoration

    Erica Verticillata, from Extinction to Restoration

    Erica verticillata, from extinction to restoration Anthony Hitchcock[*] Forerunner The Kirstenbosch conservation programme in the 1970s and 1980s was pioneered by Curator John Winter and focussed on establishing collections of threatened species in pots in the Kirstenbosch Collections Nursery. Each collection was established and cared for by horticulturists dedicated to specific target families such as Proteaceae and Ericaceae. While this initiative is to be commended it was severely limited due to space and inability to preserve enough gene pool in pot collections. In most cases, threatened species collections were soon reduced to single clones through attrition with little conservation value and in all too frequent instances lost altogether. In 2002, the author was appointed to the position of Nursery and Living Collections Manager which included responsibility for threatened species. The limitations of conservation pot collections and the need to revise the conservation programme were identified. To this purpose, a new conservation strategy was developed for Kirstenbosch. This comprised an integrated approach to include ex situ and in situ conservation activities. The focus was placed on sound genetic-based ex situ conservation collections and, where possible, in situ restoration at secure and ecologically sustainable natural area reserves. Fortuitously, the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) signed an agreement with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 2000 to become a partner and contributor to the Millennium Seed Bank Project. From this time, the primary ex situ collections were housed in seed banks and these were augmented by collections in dedicated threatened species stock beds and pots. The latter were used as source material for restoration projects mainly on Cape Flats Sand Fynbos (CFSF) where a critical need was identified to conserve the vegetation type and the ecosystem therein.
  • LOUISA BOLUS BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian

    LOUISA BOLUS BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian

    LOUISA BOLUS BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian Bolus, [née Kensit] Dr Harriet Margaret Louisa (1877-1970)—taxonomic botanist and describer of many new succulent taxa, with special interest in Mesembryanthemum. Born in Burgersdorp, Cape Province, South Africa on 31 July 1877, Louisa Bolus became an analytical botanist and taxonomist. She received an honors BA in the Arts degree from South African College, Cape Town in 1902 where Latin was one of her major subjects. During her undergraduate years she helped her great uncle, Harry Bolus (1834-1911), in his herbarium in Cape Town, South Africa. Louisa was appointed curator of the herbarium in 1903. In the early days as a botanist Louisa devoted her time to heaths and orchids, which were her uncle’s main interests. Upon the death of Harry Bolus in 1911 the herbarium and library was moved to the South African College (which became University of Cape Town in 1918), where Louisa continued working for the rest of her life. She married Frank Bolus (1870-1945), her father’s cousin and Harry Bolus’ son, in 1912. The herbarium employed various artists, such as Miss Mary Maud Page (1867-1925) and Miss Beatrice Orchard Carter (1889-1939), to paint and/or illustrate plant specimens. Due to a 1925 paper by Kew botanist Nicholas Edward Brown (1849-1934), which appeared in England’s The Gardener’s Chronicle, Louisa’s main interest shifted to African succulent plants. She became a specialist in the unwieldy genus Mesembryanthemum, which through the efforts of NE Brown, Martin Heinrich Gustav Schwantes (1881-1960) and Louisa Bolus, became divided into many genera under the Ice Plant family, Mesembryanthemaceae.

Mucina b a Department of Botany, Rhodes University, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa b Department of Botany and Zoology, Stellenbosch University, Private Bag X1, Matieland 7602, South Africa Received 29 February 2008; received in revised form 30 October 2008; accepted 30 October 2008 Abstract The Sneeuberg mountain complex (Eastern Cape) comprises one of the most prominent sections of the Great Escarpment in southern Africa but until now has remained one of the botanically least known regions. The Sneeuberg is a discrete orographical entity, being delimited in the east by the Great Fish River valley, in the west by the Nelspoort Interval, to the south by the Plains of Camdeboo, and to the north by the Great Karoo pediplain. The highest peaks range from 2278 to 2504 m above sea level, and the summit plateaux range from 1800 to 2100 m. Following extensive literature review and a detailed collecting programme, the Sneeuberg is reported here as having a total flora of 1195 species of which 107 (9%) are alien species, 33 (2.8%) are endemic, and 13 (1.1%) near-endemic. Five species previously reported as Drakensberg Alpine Centre (DAC) endemics are now known to occur in the Sneeuberg (representing range extensions of some 300–500 km). One-hundred-and-five species (8.8%) are DAC near-endemics, with the Sneeuberg being the western limit for most of these.

    Shaping Natural History and Settler Society Mary Elizabeth Barber and the Nineteenth-Century Cape Tanja Hammel Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series Series Editors Richard Drayton Department of History King’s College London London, UK Saul Dubow Magdalene College University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature, science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.

The term is also used to include documents of which the original was typescript. Initially the University of Cape Town Libraries possessed only a very small number of manuscripts. During the 1940s, however, a few large collections of papers and manuscripts were received, such as the Dr. CL Leipoldt Papers and the Sir Walter Stanford Papers. From about 1947, serious attention began to be given to the problem of preserving manuscripts and also of assembling the University archives. From the early 1950s onwards purposeful efforts were made to organize and record these collections. The Archives of the University of Cape Town have of recent years been organized as a separate unit. The bulk of the manuscripts in the University of Cape Town Libraries consists of collections of family papers and other private papers, but miscellaneous documents (i.e. literary and music manuscripts), and even single items, are also included. The manuscripts are mainly of South African interest, but there are a small number of non- South African manuscripts.
