Biodiversity Information Science and Standards 2: e25912. https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.25912 Abstract Mass digitization is a large undertaking for a collection. It is disruptive of routine and can challenge long-held practises. Having been through the procedure and survived, we feel we have a lot of experience to share with other institutions who are considering taking on this challenge. The changes that digitization has made to our institution are positive and the digitization a success, but that is not to say that we would not have done some things differently, were we to repeat the exercise. In 2015 Meise Botanic Garden received a grant from the Flemish Government to upgrade its digitization infrastructure and mass digitize 1.2 million specimens from its African and Belgian Herbaria. The new infrastructure improved our workflow significantly, enabling us to digitize specimens five to ten times faster while also improving their quality. The mass digitization part of the project was split into two parts, imaging and transcription.

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards 2: e26140. https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.26140 Abstract The botanicalcollections.be website (http://www.botanicalcollections.be) is the culmination of the three year Digitale Ontsluiting Erfgoedcollecties (DOE!) project. Over this period we have digitally imaged 1.2 million African and Belgian herbarium specimens and much of their label data. All these data are freely available on our new virtual herbarium www.botani calcollections.be. For this we have to thank a generous grant from the Flemish Government. The site was officially launched on the 23rd March, 2018, at the Fourth Annual Meeting of Plant Ecology and Evolution held at Bouchout Castle in Meise Botanic Garden (https:// sites.google.com/plantentuinmeise.be/ampee4/). Before developing the website we conducted a user requirements analysis (Vissers et al. 2017. These requirements formed the basis for development from initial design to the finished product. Lots of features were incorporated to make the site as user-friendly and usable as possible; persistent URIs, zoomable and downloadable images and access to data. Each specimen can be annotated and is available in a machine readable format.

FIRST INTERNATIONAL SALICACEAE SYMPOSIUM, MEISE BOTANIC GARDEN, May 25, 2019
Skvortsovia: 5(3): 2-10 (2019) Skvortsovia ISSN 2309-6497 (Print) Copyright: © 2019 Russian Academy of Sciences http://skvortsovia.uran.ru/ ISSN 2309-6500 (Online) Symposium proceedings FIRST INTERNATIONAL SALICACEAE SYMPOSIUM, MEISE BOTANIC GARDEN, May 25, 2019 Sonja Deneve, Dirk De Meyere and Kenneth Bauters Meise Botanic Garden, Meise, Belgium. Emails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Received: 3 August 2019 | Accepted by Keith Chamberlain: 10 September 2019 | Published online: 15 November 2019 ABSTRACT In 2018, Meise Botanic Garden, situated in a former royal estate, accepted an invitation to host the 2019 International Salicaceae Symposium. Being the only botanic garden in Belgium with a long-standing salicetum tradition, it proved to be the perfect premises. This was a remarkable illustration of biodiversity resulting from a well-managed Salicaceae collection with spontaneous indigenous Salicaceae taxa appearing across the garden. Speakers and participants alike welcomed the initiative, as many feel that research on Salicaceae world-wide needs to be stimulated. A workshop on Salix identification concluded the successful day. Keywords Meise Botanic Garden, Populus, Salicetum, Salicaceae symposium, Salix INTRODUCTION Meise Botanic Garden has a long and turbulent history. Its origins go back to the Napoleonic era, i.e., the late 18th century. Originally, the garden was under private ownership and as the owners changed so it moved from one location inside the city of Brussels to another, acquiring a different name each time. By the end of 1938, the Belgian government had acquired an estate just outside the Brussels area with the purpose of assigning some 90 ha to an official State Botanic Garden (Jardin Botanique de l'Etat/Rijksplantentuin), to which plants and part of the greenhouses were to be gradually transferred from the Brussels Jardin Botanique.

Garden Escapes Meise Botanic Garden
New observations of garden escapes in Meise Botanic Garden (Belgium), part 1 Anne Ronse and Filip Verloove Meise Botanic Garden, Nieuwelaan 38, B-1860 Meise, Belgium [[email protected]] [[email protected]] Illustrations: O. Van de Kerckhove (Fig. 1), M. Verhaegen & H. Engledow (BR) (Fig. 2) and the first author (Fig. 3-11). Abstract. – As a continuation of previous investigations of the subspontaneous flora in the domain of Meise Botanic Garden (MBG), further fieldwork since 2011 yielded several inter- esting new records of vascular plants garden escapes. In this contribution, part of these new records for MBG are presented. In total 23 taxa not previously recorded are presented. Eight of these had not been recorded so far in the wild in Belgium. The status of naturalization of these taxa varies from mere ephemeral to naturalized and potentially invasive. For each taxon we provide information on its native distribution, degree of invasiveness, occurrence in MBG as part of the collection and as escapes from the collections, their status in Belgium and elsewhere, and references to the herbarium collections in BR. Where deemed useful, information on related species is given. A number of taxa are illustrated with pictures. Résumé. – Nouvelles observations d’espèces échappées des collections au Jardin Bota- nique de Meise (Belgique) : première partie. Plusieurs nouvelles observations intéres- santes d’espèces de plantes vasculaires ont été faites dans le domaine du Jardin Botanique de Meise lors d’inventaires réalisés depuis 2011, en continuation d’études antérieures de la flore subspontanée. Cet article présente 23 nouveaux taxons, dont huit ont été observés pour la première fois en Belgique à l’état subspontané.

The National Sericultural Utopia and Debates on The
HoST - Journal of History of Science and Technology Vol. 15, no. 1, June 2021, pp. 71-106 10.2478/host-2021-0004 SPECIAL ISSUE GLOBAL FLORA: MASTERING EXOTIC PLANTS (EIGHTEENTH—NINETEENTH CENTURIES) The National Sericultural Utopia and Debates on the Acclimatization of Plants in New-born Belgium (1830-1865) Denis Diagre-Vanderpelen Meise Botanic Garden; Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium; Service général de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche scientifique, Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, Belgium [email protected] Abstract: This two-folded contribution firstly addresses the little-known history of an agricultural utopia that took over the newly born Belgium. The history of the Belgian sericultural utopia is not anecdotal, however, it was based on the conviction that it was possible to acclimatize exotic species. This conviction has a long history that is depicted in the second part of this research. The permanence in time of this hope is explained by various factors: famous supporters, a lexical fog, experiments considered successful, routines, agricultural crisis, etc. They kept alive the dream of acclimatization carried out by the French Enlightenment, but not only. Yet, in the first decades of the nineteenth century, the zealots of the famous André Thouin confronted those—early phytogeographers, or not—who rejected acclimatization more often. It might even be that biological nationalism militated against acclimatization, as showed the International Congress of Horticulture in Brussels (1864), which constitutes the chronological milestone of this research.

Willows Growing Naturally and Subspontaneously in Meise Botanic Garden
Skvortsovia: 5(3): 56-63 (2020) Skvortsovia ISSN 2309-6497 (Print) Copyright: © 2020 Russian Academy of Sciences http://skvortsovia.uran.ru/ ISSN 2309-6500 (Online) Symposium proceedings Willows growing naturally and subspontaneously in Meise Botanic Garden Anne Ronse,* Sonja Deneve and Pol Meert Meise Botanic Garden, Nieuwelaan 38, B-1860 Meise, België *Email: [email protected] Received: 1 September 2019 | Accepted by Irina Belyaeva: 27 February 2020 | Published online: 4 March 2020 Edited by: Irina Kadis, Irina Belyaeva and Keith Chamberlain Abstract Willows growing naturally and subspontaneously in the historic domain of Meise Botanic Garden (MBG) in the vicinity of Brussels have been surveyed, and their local frequency has been compared to their known distribution in Flanders (northern Belgium). Fourteen Salix taxa were found, among which were several rare or very rare hybrids, such as Salix × capreola A.Kern. ex Andersson, S. ×charrieri Chass. and S. × subsericea Döll. The latter hybrid must have originated from a cultivated S. repens. An as yet unidentified willow has been encountered, which is likely a hybrid of a non-native Salix in the outdoor collections. The richest willow flora occurs around the lakes and in the semi-natural moist woody areas. Some willows, such as S. viminalis once grown for basketry near the castle, are descendants of previously existing plantings. It is clear that willows play a significant ecological, economic and cultural-historical role in the MBG domain. Keywords: Salix, escapes, hybrids, Meise Botanic Garden, rare taxa, subspontaneous taxa Introduction Situated 15 km north of Brussels, Meise Botanic Garden (MBG) is a research institution and tourist attraction with large and diverse botanical collections.
