    In the Shadow of Thunberg and Sparrman Hendrik Jacob Wikar at the Cape I

    GUNNAR BROBERG In the Shadow of Thunberg and Sparrman Hendrik Jacob Wikar at the Cape I ; weden has had many encounters with South Africa. Already in the middle Sof the seventeenth century there is a remarkable description on the new­ ly established Cape Province, its settlers and natural history written by Nils , Matsson Kioping - yes he was from Koping - and published several rimes in that century and the next. At the turn of the eighteenth century we find a disserration in Uppsala presided over by the professor of physics Harald Valle­ rius treating the geography of the Cape.' During this period there had been a number of Swedish immigrants to South Africa, among them Olof Bergh who wrote a much later published account and who established a Swedish dynasty at the Cape. Before 1800 about fifty Swedes had setrled in Sourh Africa.' During the Linnaean era, collaboration berween the Swedish and Dutch East India companies made travel to Sourh Africa more feasible.' Linnaeus wrote to his fTiend and patron Count Carl GustafTessin that "There is no place in the world with so many rare plants. animals, insects, and other wonders of Nature as Africa, and it seems as if they have been concentrated to the Cape.'" In Plfll/tfie rariores flfricfll1f1e (1760) he states [hat where [he world seems to end there "Africa monstrifcra" has contracted the narural miracles. Linnaeus J corresponded with the governor of [he Cape Colony, Rijk Tulbagh, whom he named the genus Tttlbllghill af[er.' He tried to send students there - Pehr Kalm, Peter Forsskal, Marren Kahler and Engelberr Jorlin - but unsuccessfully.'

The Linnaean Collections Introduction In its creation the Linnaean methodology owes as much to Artedi as to Linneaus himself. So how did this come about? It was in the spring of 1729 when Linnaeus first met Artedi in Uppsala and they remained together for just over seven years. It was during this period that they not only became the closest of friends but also developed what was to become their modus operandi. Artedi was especially interested in natural history, mineralogy and chemistry; Linnaeus on the other hand was far more interested in botany. Thus it was at this point that they decided to split up the natural world between them. Artedi took the fishes, amphibia and reptiles, Linnaeus the plants, insects and birds and, while both agreed to work on the mammals, Linneaus obligingly gave over one plant family – the Umbelliforae – to Artedi “as he wanted to work out a new method of classifying them”.

NELSON* and E.G.H. OLIVER** Keywords: botanical history. Cape heaths, garden history, hybrids, nomenclature ABSTRACT This paper discusses the horticultural history of southern African Erica spp. in Europe, and especially in Britain, dur­ ing the late eighteenth and the early decades of the nineteenth century . We note evidence for the deliberate hybridization of the so-called Cape heaths by European horticulturists, in particular by the English nursery man William Rollisson and by the Very Rev. William Herbert. We discuss some of the nomenclatural consequences of the naming by miscellaneous botanists and nurserymen of the hundreds of new Erica species and hybrids, emphasizing the proliferation of eponyms. An appendix tabulates eponyms and their numerous orthographic variants published before 1835 within Erica, and provides the correct orthography for these epithets.

    The Apostles They Risked Their Lives in Distant Lands Linnaeus’S Apostles

    The Apostles They Risked their Lives in Distant Lands Linnaeus’s Apostles the wind, billowing sails spread out above your head. The smell of salt is blended with the stench of unwashed bodies. You are standing on the starboard side, gripping the railing tightly with both hands. Your stomach feels rather unruly, one moment it seems to rise up into your throat, the next moment it lands with a sigh on your knees. Time and time again and relentlessly it is forced to follow the movements of the ship. Linnaeus’s farewell rings in your ears: “I avoid long voyages. Now you are on your own. You’ll manage well.” In other words, you are standing alone this time, without your travelling companion. But you have the goal in front of you – to follow one of Linnaeus’s disciples on an adventure far from home in Sweden. A It is 1775. The world is huge and unknown, entic- ing, full of possibilities and new trading contacts – but also tainted with despicable slave-trading and misery. The three-decker Stavenisse which you are aboard is ap- proaching the Japanese port of Nagasaki. The crew are relieved at having survived the dangerous voyage. Its sister ship, the Bleijenburg, was badly damaged in one of the storms but just managed to get to Macao on the south coast of China. Voyages in the 18th century are dangerous in many ways. Apart from storms that tear at the ships, many people on board fall ill from under- nourishment or serious infections that spread like wild- fire among the crew.

    Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778): an Overview of His Life, Science and Legacy Jock Fleming1

    Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778): an overview of his life, science and legacy Jock Fleming1 INTRODUCTION The renowned Swedish naturalist Carl (Carolus) Linnaeus was awarded many honours during his lifetime and many tributes during the 300 years since his birth. Without doubt he was one of the most influential scientists in history, crucial to present day understanding of how all living species on this planet relate to one another. As a genius ahead of his times, Carl Linnaeus was unusual in that he achieved worldwide recognition during his lifetime for his application of scientific method to his work. It is remarkable that the essence of his contributions to natural history were completed while he was virtually still a student, and published in Systema Naturae in 1735. There were many revised editions of his works published throughout his lifetime. Linnaeus had many thousands of specimens in his collections of living species, fossils and minerals. In order for each specimen to have an adequate distinction, it was necessary for him to reform the classification and nomenclature used by both early and contemporary natural historians. He drew up new rules, to apply in bringing order and consistency to his own collections, and to support his reforms. He was a born cataloguer. His many publications illustrated these reforms and because of their consistency, many natural scientists applied his scientific method. During his lifetime, with the adoption and application of Linnaean conventions, natural history took its place alongside other sciences, such as physics, which had dominated during the previous century. Shortly after his death in 1778, International Conventions formally accepted the Linnaean biodiversity classifications and the binomial nomenclature.

    Per Tingbrand (1937–2020): a Personal Appreciation

    Per Tingbrand (1937–2020): A Personal Appreciation Swedish lawyer, yachtsman and historian Per Einar Tingbrand, died on 21 October 2020, aged 83. He did much to expand our knowledge of the Swedish participants in James Cook’s voyages, especially Daniel Solander, but also Herman Diedrich Spöring (an ethnic Swede born in Åbo, now Turku, Finland) and Anders Sparrman. Per was born in Råneå (Norrbotten) on 8 May 1937. His father Karl Einar was originally a farmer, but re-trained as a road engineer because of sciatica. His mother Ethel had worked for a circus in her younger days. Although Sweden avoided invasion during the Second World War, Per’s childhood was marked by austerity and anxieties associated with the conflict just beyond his country’s borders. He completed his secondary education in Gävle, before doing his compulsory military service in the Royal Hälsinge Regiment (1957–58). Tingbrand was not his original surname. He was born Jonsson, a very common Swedish patronym. When he went to study law in Uppsala (1958–62), he gained approval from his father for a distinctive change. Tingbrand means ‘court fire’ in Swedish – a great name for a new lawyer! Between 1963–65, Per served as clerk of the District Court of Piteå (Norrbotten). On 6 June 1964, he married his beloved Ulla-Britt Sundell in her hometown of Edsbyn (Gävleborg). Two years later, after serving with the Court of Appeal for Upper Norrland, in Umeå, Per returned to Piteå to establish an independent legal practice. He also became a keen sailor and developed a passionate interest in the history of maritime exploration.

When his son, Carl’s father, Nils Ingemarsson (1674-1733), went to the university of Lund, he had to provide himself with a surname for registration purposes. He invented the name Linnaeus in allusion C18 to a large and ancient tree of the small leaved linden (Tilia cordata Miller, T. Europaea L. in part), known in the Småland dialect as a “linn”, which grew on the family property known in the seventeenth century as Linnegard. Other branches of the family took the names Lindelius and Tiliander from the same famous tree. Linnaeus himself referred to this when he described Tilia in 1745 as being vastissima in pago Stegaryd Sunnerboae Smolandiae unde Tiliandri et Linnaei dicti. The name Linnaeus was thus of Latin form from the beginning.
