Great-Granny's Garden: a Living Archive and a Sensory Garden
Biodivers Conserv (2011) 20:441–449 DOI 10.1007/s10531-010-9931-9 ORIGINAL PAPER Great-granny’s Garden: a living archive and a sensory garden Liv Borgen • Ane S. Guldahl Received: 7 September 2009 / Accepted: 18 October 2010 / Published online: 9 November 2010 Ó The Author(s) 2010. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Since 2003, the Botanical Garden in Oslo has been involved in a project coordinated by the Norwegian Genetic Resource Centre. The wide range of work super- vised by this centre includes conservation of ornamental plants. Our garden has been responsible for the registration and collecting of ornamentals in Southeast-Norway and has a special responsibility for the conservation of Paeonia species and cultivars. As a result of the project, Great-granny’s Garden was opened to the public in 2008. It has two objectives. Firstly, it shall be a living archive of Norway’s horticultural heritage. Although proven hardy, easy to grow, and long-lived, old varieties of traditional ornamentals are rapidly disappearing. We aim to keep these old-fashioned varieties for sustainable use in future horticulture and encourage people to use them in present day gardening, both in new gardens and in the restoration of old ones. Secondly, the garden is designed as a sensory garden for people with dementia, in cooperation with Oslo’s Resource Centre for Dementia and Psychiatric Care of the Elderly. It is enclosed by a picked fence and by shrubs, offers rest on several benches, and has a paved and easy to follow round-walk among traditional garden elements and plants with a lush variety of colours, forms, and scents. -
Carl Peter Thunberg and Japanese Natural History
ISSN: 2186-8476, ISSN: 2186-8468 Print Vol. 2 No. 2, June 2013 CARL PETER THUNBERG AND JAPANESE NATURAL HISTORY Bertil Nordenstam Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, SE-10405 Stockholm, SWEDEN. 1 [email protected] ABSTRACT Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828) was the most famous of Linnaeus’s pupils and became known as the `Linnaeus of Japan`. However, he was a zoologist almost as much as a botanist and should be remembered also for his lasting contributions to zoology, especially entomology. He published about 160 zoological papers, 90 of which dealt with insects, and he described more than 1,500 new species of insects. One of his first scientific papers dealt with the new grasshopper genus Pneumora from South Africa. Thunberg’s insect collections amount to 36,000 specimens and are largely intact as today. He was also the author of several mammals, such as the Brown Hyaena, and a number of reptiles and fishes, including several new species from Japan. Keywords: Thunberg, Japanese natural history, Entomology, Linnaean disciple, Taxonomy, History of science INTRODUCTION We tend to think of Linnaeus and many of his foremost pupils as botanists. Linnaeus has been famed as ‘ Princeps botanicorum’ , and his perhaps most successful disciple, Carl Peter Thunberg (1743—1828; Fig. 1), has been named the ‘Father of South African Botany’ and also the ‘Linnaeus of Japan’. However, most of the Linnaean apostles, like Linnaeus himself, were medical doctors and zoologists as well – in fact they are better labeled as naturalists, or natural history scientists. Their academic positions were not in botany, but rather in medicine and botany, and similar combinations. -
Elias Magnus Fries Och Carl Adolph Agardh Om Vetenskaplig Metodik Och Möjligheten Att Konstruera Ett Naturligt System Inom Botaniken
Elias Magnus Fries och Carl Adolph Agardh om vetenskaplig metodik och möjligheten att konstruera ett naturligt system inom botaniken Lunds universitet Magnus Krook Språk- och litteraturcentrum Magisteruppsats LATM04 Lund 2014 Handledare: Professor Arne Jönsson Abstract Kring sekelskiftet 1800 dominerades den svenska botaniska forskningen av Carl von Linnés vetenskapliga gärning som hos hans omedelbara efterföljare stelnat i ortodoxi och brist på kreativitet. Den från Tyskland emanerande romantiska naturfilosofin med Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling som förgrundsgestalt gav efterhand avtryck även inom den svenska naturvetenskapen. Botanikerna Carl Adolph Agardh (1785-1859) och Elias Magnus Fries (1794-1878) var båda djupt påverkade av den romantiska filosofin i sina vetenskapliga arbeten. En av romantikens centrala idéer var att det bakom de olika naturalstrens mångfald fanns en enhet för naturforskaren att upptäcka, och både Agardh och Fries omfattade denna tanke fullt ut. Agardh var huvudsakligen specialiserad på alger, Fries ägnade sig åt svampar och lavar. Linné hade åstadkommit ett artificiellt system för växterna som fått stor spridning, men hans ouppfyllda mål var att upprätta ett naturligt system. Agardh och Fries tog vid där Linné slutade. Med utgångspunkt från den romantiska filosofin angriper de växtvärldens systematisering från var sin ände. Fries börjar med de högst utvecklade växterna och arbetar sig nedåt. Genom en strikt logisk metod delar han in växtvärlden i allt mindre enheter. Agardh avvisar däremot logikens användning inom biologin. Han utgår från de lägst utvecklade växterna och arbetar sig uppåt, en process där de empiriska erfarenheterna bit för bit fogas samman till en helhet. Agardh och Fries företrädde utvecklingstankar som stod i stark motsättning till den moderna evolutionsteorin. -

Biblioqraphy & Natural History
BIBLIOQRAPHY & NATURAL HISTORY Essays presented at a Conference convened in June 1964 by Thomas R. Buckman Lawrence, Kansas 1966 University of Kansas Libraries University of Kansas Publications Library Series, 27 Copyright 1966 by the University of Kansas Libraries Library of Congress Catalog Card number: 66-64215 Printed in Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A., by the University of Kansas Printing Service. Introduction The purpose of this group of essays and formal papers is to focus attention on some aspects of bibliography in the service of natural history, and possibly to stimulate further studies which may be of mutual usefulness to biologists and historians of science, and also to librarians and museum curators. Bibli• ography is interpreted rather broadly to include botanical illustration. Further, the intent and style of the contributions reflects the occasion—a meeting of bookmen, scientists and scholars assembled not only to discuss specific examples of the uses of books and manuscripts in the natural sciences, but also to consider some other related matters in a spirit of wit and congeniality. Thus we hope in this volume, as in the conference itself, both to inform and to please. When Edwin Wolf, 2nd, Librarian of the Library Company of Phila• delphia, and then Chairman of the Rare Books Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, asked me to plan the Section's program for its session in Lawrence, June 25-27, 1964, we agreed immediately on a theme. With few exceptions, we noted, the bibliography of natural history has received little attention in this country, and yet it is indispensable to many biologists and to historians of the natural sciences. -
Carolus Linnaeus and the Edible Dormouse 111 Nunc Extractam, Pro Qua Valde Sum in Aere Tuo; Perplacuit Etiam Pulcherrimu Avis Europaea Picus Muralis Dicta"
flystrix, (ns.) 6 (1-2) (1994): 109 - 115 (1995) Proc. I1 Conf. on Dormice CAROLUS LNAEUS AND THE EDIBLE DORMOUSE CARLO VIOLANI (*) & BRUNO ZAVA (**) (*) Dipartimento di Biologia Animale, Universita, Piazza Botta 9, 27100 Pmia, Italy. (**I Wilderness s.n.c. - Studi Ambientali, Via Cruillas, 27, 90146 Palermo, Italy. ABSTRACT - Carolus Linnaeus was totally unacquainted with the Edible Dormouse Myoxus glis (L.), a species not found in Sweden : while describing Mus Rattus in the 10th Edition of the "Systema Naturae" (1758), the Swedish naturalist confessed his ignorance concerning the "Glis" of the ancients and suggested that it might have been the marmot or the hamster. Thanks to written information received from his correspondent in Slovenia, Giovanni Antonio Scopoli, Linnaeus was able to include the new species Sciurus Glis in his 12th Edition of the "Systema Naturae" (1 766), reporting almost verbatim a summary of Scopoli's description of the rodent. Scopoli's letter is still preserved in the Library of the Linnean Society of London. The Linnean type locality "Habitat in Europa australi" for the Edible Dormouse Myoxus glis glis must therefore be restricted to "Southern Carniola, Slovenia", contra "Germany" as stated, for instance, by Miller (1912), Toschi (1965), Corbet (1978) and Storch (1978). A new name is required for the continental European form, for which M. glis germanicus ssp. nov. is here proposed. Some information on the appreciation of Myoxus glis as a delicacy ("carnes avide eduntur "in Linnaeus 'words) conclude the paper. Key words: Myoxus glis glis , Myoxus glis germanicus ssp. nov., Linnaeus, Type locality, Taxonomy. RIASSUNTO - Carlo Linneo ed il Ghiro - Dopo aver descritto Mus Ruttus nella decima edizione del "Systema Naturae" (1758) il naturalista svedese Carlo Linneo confessava di non essere a conoscenza del "Glis" degli antichi autori e ne suggeriva I'identificazione con la Marmotta o con il Criceto comune; e infatti noto che Myoxus giis non e diffuso in Svezia. -

(See Anderson, 1960, for an excellent account of this expedition. ) On the rec ommendation of the botanist Sir Joseph Banks (who as a young man had been a member of the scientific staff on Cook's first voyage, 1768--71), Archibald Menzies, a surgeon, was appointed botanist of the Vancouver expedition. Menzies had earlier served on a fur-trading vessel plying the northeastem Pacific and had collected plants from the Bering Strait to Nootka Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, in the years 1787 and 1788 (Jepson, 1929b; Scagel, 1957, p. 4), but I hav e come across no records of algae collected by him at that time. As a young midshipman Vancouver had been to the northeastern Pacific with Cook's third voyage in 1778. Now, in 1791, his expedition consisted of two ships, the sloop Discovery and the armed tender Chatham. The ships cam e to the north Pacific by way of the Cape of Good Hope, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, and the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii). They sailed from Hawaii on March 16, 1792, sighted the Mendocino coast of Califomia ( or Nova Albion [New Britain], the name given to northem California and Oregon by Drake and the name by which thi s region was still known among English navigators in Vancouver's time) on April 18, and proceeded north to explore the coast. -
