  • Plants and Politics at the Bogor Botanical Gardens
    Vol. 11, no. 3 (2018) 169–177 | ISSN: 1876-9055 | e-ISSN: 2212-7283 Laborious Transformations: Plants and Politics at the Bogor Botanical Gardens ANDREAS WEBER* & ROBERT-JAN WILLE** ABSTRACT Contributors to this theme issue examine the history of the life sciences at the Botanical Gardens in Bogor (Kebun Raya Bogor) in Indonesia. Each of the essays in this theme issue focusses on a major transformation that the garden, its networks, and staff underwent in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Before summarizing individual contributions, this introductory essay familiarizes readers with more recent scholarship in the field. Taken together, the essays in our theme issue suggest that the practice of the life sciences at the Gardens can be best analyzed as the outcome of historical processes of coordination and competition in which different disciplines, communities, and networks not only in insular Southeast Asia but also other parts of the world played a formative role. Keywords: history of life sciences, Kebun Bogor Raya, Buitenzorg, Indonesia, colonialism, botanical garden The Bogor Botanical Gardens1 in Indonesia, which was called ‘s Lands Plantentuin in what was then Buitenzorg in the Dutch Indies, has undergone several crucial transformations since its foundation in 1817. Even if one focusses only on the colonial period and lea- ves aside the period after the Indonesian Revolution, the Gardens’ history enhances our understanding of the complex relationship between evolving colonial science practices and varying forms of imperial politics. The historical relationship between the botanical garden’s political organization and practices to study plants can be best described as co- evolutionary.

  • From Laboratory Lichens to Colonial Symbiosis. Melchior Treub Bringing German Evolutionary Plant Embryology to Dutch Indonesia, 1880–1909
    Vol. 11, no. 3 (2018) 191–205 | ISSN: 1876-9055 | e-ISSN: 2212-7283 From Laboratory Lichens to Colonial Symbiosis. Melchior Treub Bringing German Evolutionary Plant Embryology to Dutch Indonesia, 1880–1909 ROBERT-JAN WILLE* ABSTRACT In this article I demonstrate that Buitenzorg formed an important site for developmental botany or plant embryology. The research station at Buitenzorg was not only a place for colonial big science, but also a hotspot for new transformations in biology. This article focuses on the evolutionary science practice of Buitenzorg’s director Melchior Treub and on how he adapted a German style of laboratory biology to the reality of the colonial tropics. In Buitenzorg, plant embryology evolved from a European taxonomic Hilfswissenschaft into a leading sub-discipline of colonial agricultural science. Studying cooperation in nature, Treub was extra keen on experimenting with new forms of political cooperation in the empire. Keywords: Melchior Treub, plant embryology, research stations, development, imperialism, Buitenzorg In contrast to previous directors, Melchior Treub was not overly excited when he moved to the Dutch colonies in Southeast Asia to take up the position of director of the Plantentuin in Buitenzorg. Treub had ambitions for a European professorship instead and would feel exiled during his first years in Java.1 Nevertheless, he would stay for 29 years, until 1909. Under his directorship the Plantentuin transformed from a botanical garden with a handful of European staff – and already several more Javanese and Sundanese workers – into a central imperial office for science and agriculture, with more than ten laboratories in Java and Sumatra and hundreds of bureaucrats, scientists and labourers, not only from the Indonesian Archipelago but also from other parts of the world.

BOTANIC GARDEN PROFILE: BOGOR BOTANIC GARDENS Siti Roosita Ariati1 & Didik Widyatmoko2 ABSTRACT Bogor Botanic Gardens (BBG) was established in 1817 and is the oldest botanic garden in South East Asia. The garden has long been a centre for scientific research and has been the founding institution of a number of other research centres in Indonesia, particularly in the life sciences. The garden initially covered 47 ha but has expanded over the years and is now 87 ha. It has evolved over its 200-year history from a collection of economically valuable plants to the multi-faceted institute it is today, undertaking activities in plant conservation, research, education, ecotourism and environmental services. In recent years, it has strengthened its role in plant conservation through the establishment of 32 new botanic gardens across Indonesia. These new gardens are managed by local government and universities and supervised by BBG. In its bicentenary year, 2017, BBG organised a number of activities, programmes and celebrations and these are highlighted in this article. HISTORY After the East Indies were handed over to the Dutch Kingdom in 1815, King Willem I ordered C.T. Elout, A.A. Buskens and G.A.G.P. Baron van der Capellen to travel from Holland to Batavia (Jakarta) to take over the government from the British administration. Dr C.G.C. Reinwardt, a German botany and chemistry expert, was part of the official delegation (Went & Went, 1945; Rijnberg, 1992; Soegiarto, 1992).

  • Backer, February 1963 at Following
    364 FLORA MALESIANA BULLETIN 12 (7/8), 2001 VIII. A short biography of C.A. Backer, nestorof theFlora of Java J.F.Veldkamp Nationaal Herbarium Nederland,Universiteit Leiden branch, P.O. Box 9514, 2300 RALeiden, The Netherlands facsimile of the Verklarend A reprint woordenboekvan wetenschappelijke plantennamen (Explanatory dictionary of scientific plant names) by C.A. Backer has been published in September, 2000. I have been asked to write an introductory note on the ‘author of this booklet’, as Backer called himself under the lemma ‘backeri’, with some of the back- grounds of the authorand the origin ofthis monumentaland unsurpassed work, of which a somewhatemended translation is given here. The following story is based on some biographies of Backer that have appeared after his death in 1963 (see References), especially that by Reinier Cornelis Bakhuizen van den Brink f. (1911-1987) and Cornelis Gijsbert Gerrit Jan van Steenis (1901-1986), but especially on the correspondence in the archives of the National Herbariumofthe Neth- erlands, Leiden University branch, on a number of speeches kept by Backer himself, and some contemporary papers. In the necrologies written by friends and sympathizers Backer has more or less been praised up to high heaven under the slogan: ‘De mortuis ’ nilnisi bonum (‘Let nothing be said of the death but what is favourable’). Nevertheless, casual remarks are madeabout Backer’s less pleasant qualities so that it must be feared that these have been somewhat higher than may appear from the following. YOUTH AND EDUCATION Cornelis Andries Backer was born on 18 September 1874 in Oudenbosch and died on 22 February 1963 at Heemstede, The Netherlands.

  • Botanic Gardens and Scientific Organizations to 18701
    Pacific Science (1998), vol. 52, no. 4: 276-286 © 1998 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved Tropical Biology and Research Institutions in South and Southeast Asia since 1500: Botanic Gardens and Scientific Organizations to 18701 DAVID G. FRODIN 2 ABSTRACT: Tropical biological stations have become in the last half-century a well-established phenomenon. They are, however, but a modem manifesta­ tion of a long tradition ofinstitutionalized study oftropical biological diversity, an approach gradually adopted by Europeans as one response to the needs and challenges of a new environment. This paper describes the growth of early in­ stitutions in South and Southeast Asia (and Mauritius), particularly botanic gardens, learned societies, and scientific surveys, and examines their relative successes and failures in relation to their geographical and political circum­ stances. The interaction among the Dutch, French, and British spheres is ex­ amined in relation to the appearance ofnew ideas. It is concluded that although all these powers were from time to time innovative, the British and Dutch, though in different ways, became the most successful in their lasting influence on pure and applied tropical science. The British network, internally strong and effectively worldwide by the nineteenth century, was notable for its breadth but featured less autonomy for individual units; the Dutch, fortunately situated in Indonesia and heir to an autonomous biological tradition, established in Bogor the beginnings of what became after 1870 a major biological (and, indeed, academic) center. TROPICAL BIOLOGY IS now fashionable. Trop­ Trelease and McLean (1919), Hill et al. ical biological stations have become numer­ (1925), and Treub (in Dammerman 1945: 59).
