EJulie Eynge Preface. n the summer of 1932 a Norwegian scientific expedition worked along I the coast of Southeast Greenland. Its bota ni st, Dr. P. F. Scholander, devotec! the greater part of his time to the study of the Vascular Plants, anc! after his return he published a valuable paper on these collections, into which he also incluc!ed the resuIts of some collections of minor importance from other Norwegians who worked on the same coasts in 1931 and 1932 (J. Devolc! anc! P. F. Scholander: Flowering Plants and Ferns of Southeast Greenland, Skrifter om Svalbard og Ishavet, No. 56, p. 1-209, Oslo 1933). During the expedition Dr. Scholander, who is a trained Iicheno­ logist, eagerly collected lichens. The forced work under such conc!itioris obliged him to restrict his efforts to the Vascular Plants and the larger lichens, Microlichenes were only incidentally collected. His paper on the former group spe aks for itself, but also his collection of Macro­ lichenes is very considerable. In reality it is so great that it is the first fully representative collection frOIJ1 this long coast. Scholancler collected lichens in the following localities : Kangerdlugsuak (about 630 15' N). Skardet, Aug. 29th. Spekkpynten (called "Første bistasjon ", i. e. First sub-station of the hunters, on the labeIs), Aug. 19th. Storfjord Radio (called "Brandal" on the labeIs), Aug. 25th-27th. Brandalsfjell, Aug. 23rd. Polarisbreen, Aug. 23rd. Amdrupneset, Aug. 28th. Akorninarmiut (about 63 c 30'). Finnsbu, J uly 24th and Aug. 10th, 11th, and 14th. Eskimoneset, Aug. 12th, (only diary). Dronning Maria's dal (often called Trollbotn on the labels), July 24th, and Aug. 12th. Tingmiarmiut (about 62 o 40 '). Brattneset, Aug. 8th. 6 EILIF DAHL, B. LYNGE, AND P. F. SCHOLANDER Kangerdlugsuatsiak (about 60 c 30' and a little farther north.) Mortensberg (often called Olabu on the labeis), July 26th. Fossheim, July 31st (only diary). Persvatnet, Jul y 31st. Møretind, July 28th. Møretun, July 31 st, and Aug. 3rd. Narsak, July 27th and 29th. Kangerdlugsuatsiak corresponds to the Lindenow fjord district. All these Iocalities will be found on the two maps which Dr. Scholander prepared for his paper of 1933, and which will be reproduced also for the present paper. Unfortunately, the collection of Crustaceous lichens was very small; it is far from representative, and can only be regarded as a contribution to our knowledge. It is not much greater than that of former botanists from these regions. We were therefore glad to receive a small collection of Crustaceous lichens from the Danish geologist, Mr. R. Bøgvad, M. A., which he had brought together in 1933 in the Isle of "Storøen" , a gneissic island at the outlet of a fjord Kangerdlugsuatsiak, 66° 15' N. On the southeast coast of Greenland there are severai fjords of this name, and to avoid confusion with the southernmost Kangerdlugsuatsiak (Lindenow Fjord) this locality has simply been named Storøen. Mr. Bøgvad collected his plants during a spare hour, a happy inspiration, for small though his collection was, it yet contained severaI interesting finds. It shows us how much research work there is still left to be done on the Crustaceous lichens on the southeast coast of Greenland. An hour's work in ant place there would be sure to result in the finding of other interesting plants. Dr. Scholander's plants belong to the Botanical Museum of Oslo (a good set of duplicates has been presented to the Botanical Museum of Copenhagen). Dr. Bøgvad's plants belong to the Copenhagen Museum, and the first set of duplicates has been presented to the Botanical Museum of Oslo. It is unfortunate that Dr. Scholander's present vocation (he is working on physiology) has prevented him from determining this interesting collection himself. It was therefore resolved that his col­ leagues should do it for him. My young student friend, Mr. Eilif Dahl, has undertaken the mounting and labelling of the whole collection, a work which required much time and patience. After that he preli­ minarily determined all the Macrolichenes. Dr. Scholander has followed our work from the beginning to the end, and has given us many valuable suggestions and much information which can only be furnished by the man who did the field work. It fell to the present writer to LICHENS FROM SOUTHEAST GR EENLAND 7 determine the Crustaceous lichens, to check the determinations of the others, and to pen the manuscript. It was thought desirable to give a survey of the lichens which have formerly been collected in Southeast Greenland, i. e., the coast between Cape Brewster (the southern entrance to Scoresby Sound) in the north and Cape Farewell in the south. Lichens from Scoresby Sound, and from other parts of Greenland have occasionally been mentioned if they offered special interest.

  • G.C. Oeder's Conflict with Linnaeus and the Implementation of Taxonomic and Nomenclatural Ideas in the Monumental Flora Danica

Oeder’s conflict with Linnaeus and the implementation of taxonomic and nomenclatural ideas in the monumental Flora Danica project (1761–1883) I. Friis Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK–2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Hitherto unpublished parts of the history of the Icones … Florae Danicae (1761–1883), one of the largest illustrated botanical works published, are analysed; it covered the entire flora of the double monarchy of Denmark–Norway, Schleswig and Holstein and the North Atlantic dependencies. A study of the little noticed taxonomic and nomenclatural principles behind the Icones is presented. G.C. Oeder, founder of the project, approved the ideas of Buffon and Haller and rejected Linnaean binary nomenclature because of its lack of stability of genera. In the Icones …, Oeder cited all names used for each plant in chronological order, with the binary Linnaean name last, to which principle Linnaeus reacted. By the end of the 18th century, Linnaean nomenclature had become standard, apart from in Flora Danica and a very few other botanical works. Applying Linnaean nomenclature elsewhere, O.F. Müller, editor 1775–1782, and M. Vahl, editor 1787–1799, followed Oeder’s norm in the Icones. J.W. Hornemann, editor 1810–1840, followed Oeder in his first fascicles, but began experimenting with changes towards Linnaean nomenclature from 1810. After 1840, subsequent editors consistently applied Linnaean principles for accepted names and synonyms. Keywords. Accepted names, genera, natural classification, species, synonymy Introduction In his excellent monograph on how the Linnaean reforms gained general acceptance among botanists, Stafleu (1971: 260) specifically stated that he left out a discussion of C.G.

  • Hanna Marie Resvoll-Holmsen: a Pioneer in Svalbard
    This year is a kind of anniversary for the Norwegian Polar Institute: its establishment can be traced back to Svalbard expeditions sponsored by Prince Albert I of Monaco in 1906 and 1907. In this unreviewed biographi- cal article, biologist Eva Fuglei, who has spent many sea- sons on Spitsbergen (where her research has focused on Arctic foxes), and the editor describe part of the uncom- mon life of botanist Hanna Marie Resvoll-Holmsen, who participated in the 1907 expedition. Hanna Marie Resvoll-Holmsen: a pioneer in Svalbard Eva Fuglei & Helle V. Goldman Norwegian Polar Institute, Polar Environmental Centre, NO-9296 Tromsø, Norway, [email protected]. In 1906 and 1907, a small group of Norwegian scientists participated in expeditions to the Svalbard archipelago organized and paid for by Prince Albert I of Monaco. Botanist Hanna Marie Resvoll-Holmsen—the fi rst woman to carry out botanical research in Svalbard—went along on the 1907 expedition, returning the next year to continue her studies. Who was this woman? On 11 September 1873, Julie Marie and Hans Resvoll had a daughter whom they named Hanna Marie. The couple’s other daughter, Thekla, was older by two years. Thekla and Hanna would always be close friends and important sources of mutual support. They became interested in many of the same things, excelled in similar careers and even ended up marrying brothers. At the time of Hanna’s birth, the Resvolls lived in Vågå, in mountainous southern Norway. Located along an ancient east–west travel route, Vågå derives its name from the old Norwegian word vega, denoting “travel”.

  • From the Institute's Photo Library
    From the Institute’s Photo Library doi:10.1111/j.1751-8369.2009.00104.x In 1899, these three Inuit men from north-west Greenland visited the second Fram expedition while it overwintered in Rice Strait, the narrow waterway separating Pim Island from Ellesmere Island’s eastern coast. The Norwegian expedition was led by Otto Sverdrup (1854–1930), and included cartographer Gunnar Isachsen, geologist Per Schei, botanist Herman Georg Simmons and zoologist Edvard Bay. It explored the north-west coast of Greenland and the region around Ellesmere Island, in what is now Nunavut, Canada. By employing elements of Inuit and Saami clothing, technology and practices, Sverdrup’s expedition held out from 1898 to 1902, recording valuable observations on the flora, fauna, geology and oceanography of the region, and charting the virtually unknown western coast of Ellesmere Island. A group of islands to the west of Ellesmere was discovered, which Sverdrup named after the expedition’s benefactors, and claimed for his country. Norway formally ceded the claim in 1930, shortly before Sverdrup’s death. Otto Sverdrup, who led or participated in a number of important polar expeditions, including Fridtjof Nansen’s famous ski-crossing of Greenland in 1888, is one of the great figures of Norwegian exploration. The Norwegian Polar Institute’s Photo Library preserves some 90 000 polar-related images, captured during the last 135 years, including glass plates and slides, stereo images, print photographs and modern digital photographs. Images documenting Norwegian activities in the Arctic and Antarctic comprise the bulk of the collection. Scanning the older images and registering newer ones is an ongoing endeavour.

Oeder’s conflict with Linnaeus and the implementation of taxonomic and nomenclatural ideas in the monumental Flora Danica project (1761–1883) I.
