The Krzemieniec Botanists
ORGANON 34:2005 Wanda Grębecka (Warsaw, Poland) BOTANY IN KRZEMIENIEC: PEOPLE, TEACHING, RESEARCH WORK In Krzemieniec, a small Volynian town lying at the foot of a hill range called the Miodobory, there was an important botanical research centre, active in the years 1805-18311. Its development is related to establishing there an innovative school, Volynian Gymnasium [a secondary school], and later Vo- lynian Lyceum [an upper secondary school] by Tadeusz Czacki2. Botanical research work carried out in Krzemieniec developed and flourished thanks to three distinguished biologists employed as natural history teachers, namely Franciszek Scheldt (1759-1807), Wilibald Besser (1784-1842) and Antoni Andrzejowski (1785-1868). Their teaching activity, establishing and excellent managing of the Botanical Garden, as well as their floristic research in the southern parts of Polesie, Volyn, Podolia and the regions adjacent to the Black Sea (the so-called Poberezhe) are a significant and imperishable contribution to the world science3. In European botany the period of the activity of the Krzemieniec biologists was the time of intense physiographic research, exploring remote lands, great colonial expeditions, usually accompanied by a naturalist - a biologist studying the local flora and fauna, as well as geology and climate - and it was the time of the development of plant geography, ini- tiated as a result of trips and research carried out by J. P. Tournefort (1656— 1708), and, most notably, by Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), along with other scientists4. The research done by the Krzemieniec teachers was in line with this development tendency in botany. They appreciated the region 1 Krzemieniec (Kremenets) - a town in the western Ukraine, now in the northern part of the Tarnopol pro- vince. -

Poland Abstract: The library and the cabinet collections of King of Poland Stanisław August Poniatowski reflect the trends of the Enlightement as well as the monarch’s interests. Their acquisition by one of the most important Polish schools, the Volhynian Gymnasium in Kremenets, saved them from dismemberment and gave rise to school collections. The acquisition was possible owing to history (the Partition of Poland, and the emergence of the Vilna Educational District) and a unique man – Tadeusz Czacki. The collections at the Volhynian Gymnasium in Kremenets was open to the public on a daily basis. In this way, the Polish King’s Stanisław August wish to have the collection available for masses came true, after his death regrettably. School collections were very valuable. Having originated from the royal collection of the last Polish King, they became a reminiscence of the national potential of a country that disappeared from the map of Europe in 1795. This article is a part of a future book and an attempt of documenting the transition of respective collections from the royal residence in Warsaw to Kremenets. -

Uniwersytet Jagielloński ul. Kopernika 27, 31-501 Kraków, Poland Received: 27 November 2009, Accepted: 31 November 2009 ABSTR A CT : Natural range of the Yellow Azalea Rhododendron luteum Sweet (Azalea pontica L.) includes the Caucasus, Asia Minor, Volhynia and SE rim of the Alps (Slovenia). There is also a natural locality of this species in Poland, in Wola Zarczycka near Leżajsk. The plant was discovered in 1795 in Volhynian Polesia by an eminent gardener Dionizy Mikler, and its popularity grew thanks to the Botanic Garden affiliated by the Krzemieniec College. Already at the first half of the 19th century Yellow Rhododendron, originating from Volhynian Polesia, was in cultivation in most of European Botanic Gardens. Nowadays this species can be easily found even in small private gardens. It has also been planted in forests. In Volhynian Polesia it grows abundantly in continental mesotrophic oak-pine mixed forests (Querco roboris-Pinetum), sometimes covering 100% of the shrub layer. Its is equally common in continental swamp pine forests (Vaccinio uliginosi-Pinetum). The soils where the species grow are always moist and very acidic (pH below 4).
