Harvard Papers in Botany Are Thanked for Suggestions to the Final Version NOTES ON THE LECTOTYPIFICATION OF NECTANDRA SANGUINEA (LAURACEAE) PEDRO LUÍS RODRIGUES DE MORAES ,1 JAMES DOBREFF ,2 AND LARS GUNNAR REINHAMMAR 3 Abstract. Notes on the lecotypification of Nectandra sanguinea , the type of Nectandra , are presented, comple - menting the prior one proposed by Luciano Bernardi. This is necessary in order to clarify the confusion that arose after his analysis whereby the sheet designated by him as “holotypus ” was subsequently altered, and because he mixed elements of two different sheets in the photographic plate indicated as being a single sheet of the “holoty - pus. ” Corrections of authorship and the place and date of publication of the species name are also discussed, hav - ing been overlooked by most authors who were seemingly unaware of the existence of the original dissertation published by Rottbøll in 1776 . Resumo. Apresentam-se notas sobre a lectotipificação de Nectandra sanguinea , o tipo de Nectandra , complementando a prévia proposta por Luciano Bernardi. Isto se faz necessário para o esclarecimento da confusão surgida após sua análise, uma vez que a exsicata designada por ele como “holótipo ” foi subsequentemente alterada, e porque ele misturou elementos de duas exsicatas diferentes na prancha fotográfica indicada como sendo uma única exsicata do “holótipo. ” Correções da autoria e do local e data de publicação do nome da espécie também são discutidas, que foram negligenciadas pela maioria dos autores, que aparentemente desconheciam a existência da dissertação original publicada por Rottbøll em 1776 .

    ; © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.zobodat.at Linne's Beziehungen zu Neu-Granada. Von Hermann A. Schumacher. Der grosse schwedische Naturforscher, dessen Name den Beginn der neuzeitlichen Entwicklung unserer Naturkenntniss bezeichnet, hat seit der 1741 erfolgten Begründung der Stockholmer Academie der "Wissenschaften, namentlich während seiner letzten zwanzig Lebens-Jahre (1758— 1778), von seinem europäischen Universitäts- sitze aus in den verschiedensten Theilen der Welt wissenschaftliche Anregung gegeben und an vielen, ein selbstständiges Geistesleben entbehrenden Orten eigene Forschungen hervorgerufen. Vor dem Professor von Upsala hat kein europäischer Gelehrter, selbst nicht ein Pariser oder Londoner, ähnlich weitgehende Einflüsse ausgeübt, weder in den europäischen Ländern von Russland bis Portugal, noch in Asien oder Aegypten, geschweige denn in Amerika. Wie Carl von Linne mit dem Newyorker Gouverneur Cadwallader Colden und seiner Tochter lateinisch correspondirte, wie er der pensylvanischen Gelehrtengesellschaft zu Philadelphia, der ersten amerikanischen Vereinigung ihrer Art, angehörte, so empfing er für seine Studien aus Virginia und Surinam, von den westindischen Inseln und Plätzen des lateinischen Amerika's zahlreiche Beiträge, welche theils für die Ausbildung der wissenschaftlichen Botanik, theils für die Entdeckung von Arzneigewächsen und Zierpflanzen grosse Wichtigkeit erlangt haben.

  • 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.

  • Controversies Over the Scientific Name of the Principal Mosquito Vector of Yellow Fever Virus –
    Vol. 43, no. 1 Journal of Vector Ecology 1 Controversies over the scientific name of the principal mosquito vector of yellow fever virus – expediency versus validity Alan N. Clements1 and Ralph E. Harbach2* 1Emeritus Professor, London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, London, UK 2Department of Life Sciences, Natural History Museum, London, UK, [email protected] Received 17 January 2018; Accepted 15 February 2018 ABSTRACT: The history of the scientific name of the yellow fever mosquito, the vector of yellow fever virus, ranges from 1757 to the early twenty-first century. In his 1757 work Iter Palæstinum, Frederic Hasselquist gave the name Culex aegypti to a mosquito species responsible for fierce attacks on humans in Egypt. That name was never later ascribed to Hasselquist as author, but to Linnaeus, although the name never appeared in any of Linnaeus’ publications. In Cuba, at the end of the nineteenth century, the vector of the unknown infectious agent of yellow fever was first identified as Culex mosquito and later more validly named Stegomyia fasciata. Mosquito taxonomists differed strongly about the name of the mosquito through much of the twentieth century. Interventions by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature imposed a biologically invalid specific name, and in the early twenty-first century a phylogenetic analysis of the culicid tribe Aedini restored the genus Stegomyia from a century earlier. That action was short-lived. A phylogenetic reassessment resulted in the return of Stegomyia to subgeneric rank in Aedes; thus, the name of the yellow fever mosquito survives in the traditional classification of convenience as the trinomial Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus).

Abstract The termite genus Coptotermes is both large and widespread but, as a whole, lacks robust diagnostic characters for morphological species identification. This has resulted in many taxonomic synonymies leading to the current pool of extant species a few of which are among the world’s most destructive pests of wood. The New World diversity of Coptotermes is far less complicated, but has not been the subject of critical study.

Vi kan glädja oss åt att denna fantastiska kulturmiljö finns kvar. Under säsongen 2018 har mer än tiotusen besökare hittat hit för att gå visningar, deltagit i olika aktiviteter eller bara njutit av miljön och markerna. Jag gläder mig så mycket åt det fina samarbete som vi har med alla aktiva på Hammarby från Uppsala Linnéanska trädgårdar vid Uppsala universitet, Avdelningen för agrarhistoria vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet och Länsstyrelsen för Uppsala län och inte minst stödet från alla medlemmar i Sällskapet Linnés Hammarby.
