Blyttia 57: 53-60. Martin Vahl (1749-1804) – the first Norwegian professor of botany. This paper commemorates the 250th anniversary of the birth of the Norwegian botanist Martin Vahl, present- ing the known facts about his childhood and youth in Bergen, his study years in Copenhagen and Uppsala (with Linnaeus 1770-1774)) and his scientific activity, mainly as professor in Copenhagen(1786-1804). His main contribution is that of preparing and publishing several fascicles of the prestigious «Flora danica», comprising both flowering plants and cryptogams, particularly fungi and lichens, and describing plants from exotic regions of interest to the Danish Crown (West Indies, West Africa and India (Tranquebar)), altogether 1100 new species. He was also occupied with redescribing the original material of Linnaeus to clarify the numerous misunderstandings that he had seen during travels in Europe, as contemporary botanists mainly relied on the illustrations cited by Linnaeus. However, Vahl died before he had finished this task, leaving his main work, «Enumeratio Plantarum», unfinished. At his death he had a position among European botanists rather like that of his teacher Linnaeus. Per M. Jørgensen, Botanisk institutt, Universitetet i Bergen, Allégt. 41, N-5017 Bergen.

Book Review: Jens Rathke – a Scientific Traveller
Øivind Larsen Book review: Jens Rathke – a scientific traveller Michael 2006;3:73–5. Jarnæs J (ed.) Jens Rathkes beretning fra oppholdet på Madeira og i Por- tugal i 1798-1799. Oslo: Solum, 2005. 293 pp. ISBN 82-560-1506-3. Price: NOK 320,-. Sometimes, travel diaries may survive for centuries and their contents even gain in interest as time goes by. Here is an ex- ample: The scientist Jens Rathke (1769-1855) was one of the most remarkable personal- ities in the period when a national aca- demic world should be built up in Nor- way, following the establishing of a national University in the capital of Christiania in 1811 and the independ- ence from Denmark in 1814. Rathke was attending the Cathedral School in Christiania until 1787, then moved to Copenhagen, became a student and received his degree in theol- ogy from the University of Copenhagen in 1792. However, in Copenhagen there was a flourishing environment for stud- ies in natural sciences, even if these disciplines were not represented at the University. There was a private society for natural history, where famous scientists, such as the botanist Martin Vahl (1749-1804) and the zoologist Peter Christian Abildgaard (1740-1801) were giving lessons to interested students. Examinations were also arranged. Jens Rathke had been fasci- nated by natural science, started research on his own, and could already I NTERDISCIPLINARITY 73 1794 present an important work on the anatomy of a fresh water mussel (Anodonta anatina). His achievements in natural history made him an ob- vious choice when the conditions for the fisheries along the Norwegian coast should be studied, and ha was sent out by the government on exten- sive travels, resulting in reports with lasting value for the development of the Danish-Norwegian, later Norwegian fishing industry. -
Botanic Garden Profile: Botanical Garden of the University of Oslo, Norway
SIBBALDIA: 15 The Journal of Botanic Garden Horticulture, No. 13 BOTANIC GARDEN PROFILE : BOTANICAL GARDEN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OSLO, NORWAY Axel Dalberg Poulsen1 ABSTRACT The Botanical Garden in Oslo was established in 1814 and is the oldest part of the Natural History Museum, one of the two museums of the University of Oslo. To celebrate the bicentenary, the Museum decided to launch an ambitious programme of events covering the entire year and adding several new permanent assets. This paper provides a brief history of and current information about the Garden and describes the previously existing and new features, along with a map of the Garden. The bicentenary celebrations raised the profile of the Garden enormously in Norway, and it experi- enced a huge increase in visitor numbers as well as extensive media coverage. The increased popularity of the Garden and the expected future rise in population in the neighbouring suburbs simultaneously challenge the Garden to satisfy the need for green space as well as providing scien- tifically based information which reinforces the importance of plants. HISTORY The Botanical Garden of the University of Oslo (BGUO) was established on 1 June 1814, only two weeks after the constitution of Norway was signed and less than three years after the university itself. King Frederik VI of the union of Denmark and Norway bought the Manor of Tøyen and its estate. He donated it to the university in 1812 with the intention that it should include the campus of the new university. Instead, it was decided to establish a botanic garden, although only around 5 per cent of the estate (7.5 ha) was designated for this purpose. -

Notes on the Genus Umbilicus DC. by Per Sunding Botanical Garden, University of Oslo, Norway (recibido en la redacción: 13.1.1968) RESUMEN Notas wbre el G4nero Urnbilicus DC. en las Islas Canurias: Según citaciones de diferentes autores tratando la flora canaria, nombres de varias especies de este género aparecen, como UmZ~ilicuso (su sin6niino) Cotyledan. De acuerdo con in- vestigaciones modernas el número de especies citadas alcanza a ocho, mientras que probablemente sólo dos especies ocurren de verdad en la flora del archipié- lago: Utnbilicus I~orizontalis(Guss.) DC., U. heylaridian-s W et B. En los demás casos, generalmente, se trata de errores en la deterrninacion de especies. Yara tacili- tar la clasificación de Umbilicus en Canarias, una tabla-clave es presentado en la pág. 16. When studying the botanical literature on the Canary Islands one will discover that quite a lot of different species of the genus Umbilicus have been reported from the archipe- lago. Very often, however, each author only mentions one sin- gle or two species in his treatise. Obviously the various na- mes have been used with different meanings by the various authors. From herbarium material it will be seen that erro- neous identifications of specimens of the genus are frequent, and older literature records obviously must be used with great care. The problem thus arises over which species of the genus really do occur in the Canary Islands (cp. Lems 1960: 40). During phytosociological field work in Gran Canaria in 1965, 1966, and 1967 the genus was studied and collected ea- gerly. Later collections of the genus from the Canary Islands and other parts of Macaronesia in severa1 European herbaria (using the Stardard abbreviations of Index Herbariorum C19641, the herbaria of O, GB, C, K, HAMU, B, and HEID) were studied. -
