    Dreams and Nightmares of Latin American Ascomycete Taxonomists

    DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES OF NEOTROPICAL ASCOMYCETE TAXONOMISTS Richard P. Korf Emeritus Professor of Mycology at Cornell University & Emeritus Curator of the Cornell Plant Pathology Herbarium, Ithaca, New York A talk presented at the VII Congress of Latin American Mycology, San José, Costa Rica, July 20, 2011 ABSTRACT Is taxonomic inquiry outdated, or cutting edge? A reassessment is made of the goals, successes, and failures of taxonomists who study the fungi of the Neotropics, with a view toward what we should do in the future if we are to have maximum scientific and societal impact. Ten questions are posed, including: Do we really need names? Who is likely to be funding our future research? Is the collapse of the Ivory Tower of Academia a dream or a nightmare? I have been invited here to present a talk on my views on what taxonomists working on Ascomycetes in the Neotropics should be doing. Why me? Perhaps just because I am one of the oldest ascomycete taxonomists, who just might have some shreds of wisdom to impart. I take the challenge seriously, and somewhat to my surprise I have come to some conclusions that shock me, as well they may shock you. OUR HISTORY Let's take a brief view of the time frame I want to talk about. It's really not that old. Most of us think of Elias Magnus Fries as the "father of mycology," a starting point for fungal names as the sanctioning author for most of the fungi. In 1825 Fries was halfway through his Systema Mycologicum, describing and illustrating fungi on what he could see without the aid of a microscope.

    Four Master Teachers Who Fostered American Turn-Of-The-(20<Sup>TH

Petersen Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37919-1100 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—The Morrill Act of 1862 afforded the US states the opportunity to found state colleges with agriculture as part of their mission—the so-called “land-grant colleges.” The Hatch Act of 1887 gave the same opportunity for agricultural experiment stations as functions of the land-grant colleges, and the “third Morrill Act” (the Smith-Lever Act) of 1914 added an extension dimension to the experiment stations. Overall, the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th was a time for growing appreciation for, and growth of institutional education in the natural sciences, especially botany and its specialties, mycology, and phytopathology. This paper outlines a particular genealogy of mycologists and plant pathologists representative of this era. Professor Albert Nelson Prentiss, first of Michigan State then of Cornell, Professor William Russel Dudley of Cornell and Stanford, Professor Mason Blanchard Thomas of Wabash College, and Professor Herbert Hice Whetzel of Cornell Plant Pathology were major players in the scenario. The supporting cast, the students selected, trained, and guided by these men, was legion, a few of whom are briefly traced here. Key words—“New Botany,” European influence, agrarian roots Chapter 1.

The cause of this paper on historical events is the death of H ieronymus Bock in the year 1554 (450 years ago) and of Paolo Boccone in the year 1704 (300 years ago). H. Bock has created a first definition of the fungi after the antiquity in 1539. P. Boccone has publised nummerous new fungi in the years 1674 and 1697. Both were progressists for the contemporary knowledge on fungi.

EVERT ATHERINE ESAU, WORLD renowned botanist, recipient of Kthe National Medal of Science, author of six textbooks, and teacher par excellence, died June 4, 1997, at her home in Santa Barbara, California. She was ninety-nine years young. Her work on plant structure covered seven-plus decades and led to much of the current research on plant function. Throughout her career, Esau continued research on phlo- em both in relation to the effects of phloem-limited viruses on plant structure and development and to the unique struc- ture of the sieve tube as a conduit for food. She demon- strated an exceptional ability for attacking basic problems and she set new standards of excellence for the investiga- tion of anatomical problems in the plant sciences. Esau was born on April 3, 1898, in the city of Yekaterinoslav, now called Dnepropetrovsk, in the Ukraine. She lived there until the end of 1918, when she and her family fled to Germany during the Bolshevik Revolution. Her family was Mennonite, descendants of the German Mennonites that Catherine the Great invited to Russia to promote agricul- ture on the Ukrainian steppes.

About this product Product Information Pliny's Natural History is an astonishingly ambitious work that ranges from astronomy to art and from geography to zoology. Mingling acute observation with often wild speculation, it offers a fascinating view of the world as it was understood in the first century AD, whether describing the danger of diving for sponges, the first water-clock, or the use of asses' milk to remove wrinkles. Pliny himself died Natural History: A Selection investigating the volcanic eruption that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79, and the natural curiosity that brought about his death is also very much evident in the Natural History -- a book that proved highly influential right up until the Renaissance and that his nephew, Pliny the younger, described 'as Natural History: A Selection of variety as nature itself'.

At the heart of the studio exhibition is the exquisite Baroque “Plantae Selectae” by Christoph Jacob Trew, regarded as the most beautiful German plant book of the 18th century. Over the years, the physician and botanist had amassed a significant number of watercolours of plants, to which he added depictions of distinctive details such as seeds, fruits or pistils. The images served as the prototype for the illustrations in “Plantae Selectae”, a personal selection from his collection. For the first time, the book is now exhibited together with the magnificently coloured preliminary drawings. The history of botany While treatises about a wide variety of plants existed in ancient times, it was only with the advent of printing that knowledge about the healing power of plants became more widespread.

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.

This body of work was welcomed by the mycological and botanical communities of his time: Fungi students and associates aided Fries and after his passing carried forward his taxonomic ideas. His legacy Systema mycologicum spawned a line of Swedish and Danish mycologists intent on perpetuating the Fries tradition: Hampus Taxonomy von Post, Lars Romell, Seth Lundell and John Axel Nannfeldt in Sweden; Emil Rostrup, Severin Petersen Uppsala and Jakob Lange in Denmark. Volumes of color paintings and several exsiccati, most notably one edited by Lundell and Nannfeldt attached fungal portraits and preserved specimens (and often photographs) to Fries names.
