  • The Botanical Exploration of Angola by Germans During the 19Th and 20Th Centuries, with Biographical Sketches and Notes on Collections and Herbaria
    Blumea 65, 2020: 126–161 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/blumea.2020.65.02.06 The botanical exploration of Angola by Germans during the 19th and 20th centuries, with biographical sketches and notes on collections and herbaria E. Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S.

  • History and Current Status of Systematic Research with Araceae
    HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS OF SYSTEMATIC RESEARCH WITH ARACEAE Thomas B. Croat Missouri Botanical Garden P. O. Box 299 St. Louis, MO 63166 U.S.A. Note: This paper, originally published in Aroideana Vol. 21, pp. 26–145 in 1998, is periodically updated onto the IAS web page with current additions. Any mistakes, proposed changes, or new publications that deal with the systematics of Araceae should be brought to my attention. Mail to me at the address listed above, or e-mail me at [email protected]. Last revised November 2004 INTRODUCTION The history of systematic work with Araceae has been previously covered by Nicolson (1987b), and was the subject of a chapter in the Genera of Araceae by Mayo, Bogner & Boyce (1997) and in Curtis's Botanical Magazine new series (Mayo et al., 1995). In addition to covering many of the principal players in the field of aroid research, Nicolson's paper dealt with the evolution of family concepts and gave a comparison of the then current modern systems of classification. The papers by Mayo, Bogner and Boyce were more comprehensive in scope than that of Nicolson, but still did not cover in great detail many of the participants in Araceae research. In contrast, this paper will cover all systematic and floristic work that deals with Araceae, which is known to me. It will not, in general, deal with agronomic papers on Araceae such as the rich literature on taro and its cultivation, nor will it deal with smaller papers of a technical nature or those dealing with pollination biology.

  • Phylogenetic System of Classification.Pdf
    Course- Botany (Honours )Part II (continued topic) Systems of Classification Phylogenetic system of classification This system is based on the evolutionary parameters. The term phylogeny was proposed by E.H.Haeckel in 1866, who described it as the science of genealogical development in phyla or in other plant or animal group. The theory of evolution in organisms was given by Charles Darwin with the publication of Origin of Species in 1859, the outlook of taxonomy was changed and evolutionary trends were taken into consideration in taxonomy. Systems based on evolutionary trends gained much reliability and popularity. In general, all classifications given on Phylogenetic basis have classified plants according to increasing complexity, i.e. beginning with the simplest forms and proceeding to the complex ones. The most widely known Phylogenetic systems are those of Engler and Prantl (1887-1899), Hutchinson (1926, 1934, 1948, 1959, 1969, 1973), Takhtajan (1969), and Cronquist (1068, 1981). Many Phylogenetic systems have been given but none of them clearly accounts for the true relationships between the species. Julius von Sachs (1832-1897) was the first botanist who proposed first Phylogenetic classification in 1868 substituting the old systems by his new plan, but that could not be accepted. The most popular Phylogenetic system for plants classification was given by H.G. Adolf Engler (1844-1930) and Karl Anton Eugene Prantl (1849-1893). Adolf Engler was Professor of Botany at Berlin University and Director of Berlin Botanical Gardens from 1889-1921. He gave his classification based on classification given by Eichler (1883). This system was published in 1887, and later on expanded in a monumental work named as Die naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien.
