Description
An account of the resource
Botany is a 21st century subject built on a rich heritage contributed to and developed by many. Although botany was taught at the University of Otago from the outset, it was in 1924 that the Botany Department was established, with the appointment of Dr J. E. Holloway. From his one ‘all-purpose’ room Holloway instructed others in the subject that involves the scientific study of plant life. After Holloway’s retirement in 1944, a number of dedicated staff kept the department functioning until 1946 when Geoff Baylis arrived as Head of the Department (HoD). He became the first Professor of Botany in 1952. Baylis was replaced by Professor Peter Bannister in 1979, who was HoD until 2003, when Associate Professor Paul Guy took over. Professor Bastow Wilson replaced Guy as HoD in 2008. Professor Jim Simpson became HoD in 2010, and Professor Katharine Dickinson in 2011.
Since 1924, students have been exposed to all aspects of the life of plants, algae, fungi, and other closely related organisms. Today’s student engages in a subject that is now multidisciplinary, covering the gene to the ecosystem, and from the mountains to the sea. Of course the Department’s achievements are due to all staff: the technicians, the administrators, and the academics, and each have contributed greatly to the excellence in teaching and research that has been afforded to students, and more broadly to the general public, over many years. The Department is also very appreciative of the significant contributions made by its Emeritus and Honorary Professors, and other research associates.
This exhibition celebrates the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Botany Department at the University of Otago, which remains the only university Department of Botany in New Zealand. The Department is very proud of its heritage, and in looking ahead, considers Botany to be essential to society’s needs more than ever. Indeed, knowledge about plants is fundamental to our survival.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Swedish naturalist, Daniel Charles Solander (1733-1782), accompanied Joseph Banks aboard Captain Cook’s HMS <em>Endeavour</em> on the first Pacific expedition of 1768 to 1771. On his return to England, Solander helped Banks collate what is now known as Banks’ <em>Florilegium</em>. While at Teoneroa (Poverty Bay) he and Banks gathered almost 60 plant species, including the now familiar trees and shrubs: karaka, ngaio, kowhai (<em>Sophora tetraptera</em>), koromiko, and flax (<em>Phormium tenax</em>). An important part of Solander’s legacy is his manuscripts, 20 of which are in the British Museum. This copy is from his unpublished <em>Primitiae Florae Novae Zelandiae</em> [1770], the first documented list of the flora of New Zealand. Solander used Linnaeus’ binomial classification system (the Latin two-word tags) to classify the plants.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
During his voyage on the HMS <em>Endeavour</em>, Banks kept a journal that vividly records his visits to Brazil, Tierra del Fuego, Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia. Botany was one of Banks’ passions and throughout the text he makes mention of plants discovered, and the exacting process of collecting, collating, and storing the specimens for the long trip home. This edition, the first full publication of the <em>Journal</em>, also contains illustrations by Sydney Parkinson, Banks’ botanical draughtsman. Here is the colourful kaka beak (<em>Clianthus puniceus</em>), which has a note on the back of the original sketch reading: ‘The capsula a bright yellow green’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
For many years, Māori have used flax (<em>Phormium tenax</em> and <em>Phormium cookianum</em>, known as harakeke and wharariki respectively) for medicinal purposes and for rope-making and matting. Early European visitors such as Banks also realised the potential of the plant, especially its usefulness in rope-making. Painter William Hodges (1744-1797) accompanied Cook on his second voyage to the Pacific. Although renowned for his landscape paintings, Hodges also executed botanical drawings like this flax illustration for Cook’s <em>A Voyage towards the South Pole</em> (1777).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
To ward off an outbreak of scurvy on board, Cook looked to a local resource while at Dusky Sound. His use of rimu leaves to create spruce beer was certainly innovative. And it was not a one-time occasion. George Vancouver (1757-1798), who accompanied Cook on the second and third voyages, also utilised the same when he called at Dusky Sound during November 1791. The ‘good effects’ on the crew of spruce beer are mentioned as well as Vancouver’s use of a species of cypress and ‘tea plant’ for brewing at sea. The Scottish surgeon Archibald Menzies (1754–1842) was with Vancouver. During his botanising he discovered two well-known plants: <em>Dracophyllum menziesii</em> (dragon leaf) and <em>Nothofagus</em> (<em>Lophozonia</em>)<em> menziesii</em> (silver beech).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘Our collection of plants was now grown so immensely large that it was necessary that some extraordinary care should be taken of them, lest they should spoil in the books. I therefore devoted this day to that business and carried ashore all the drying paper, nearly 200 quires, …spreading them upon a sail in the sun, …often turning them, …By this means they came on board at night in very good condition.’ So Banks wrote at Botany Bay, just after he left New Zealand. Presumably Professor Geoff Baylis had less quantity to deal with, but the exacting process of keeping botanical specimens was no doubt similar. Baylis collected this sample of Cook’s ‘scurvy grass’ (<em>Lepidium oleraceum</em>) in Dunedin in December 1951. Because of its antiscorbutic properties, Cook also used it to ward off scurvy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘I have long felt earnestly desirous of promoting a love and knowledge of the Science of Botany in those English Colonies which it has been my good fortune to visit…’. So wrote Joseph Dalton Hooker in his <em>Flora Novae-Zelandiae</em> (1852-1855), which, along with <em>Flora Antarctica</em> (1844-47) and <em>Flora Tasmaniae</em> (1853–59), formed the ‘Antarctic’ publications, the culmination of his botanical work during the years of the expedition, 1839-1843. The New Zealand volumes – a milestone publication of modern systematic botany – described and illustrated some 1,767 species of plants. The illustration of <em>Clematis colensoi</em> (now <em>C. forsteri</em>) was by the botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Hooker relied on his own plant collection and the efforts of other collectors in the field to produce his later <em>Handbook of the New Zealand Flora </em>(1864), a ‘compendious’ and more compact account of the plants of New Zealand. This publication, however, was imperfect, with descriptions lacking to some flowering plants, and meagre sketches of fungi and crustaceous lichens. This copy is particularly significant as it once belonged to Sir James Hector (1834-1907), geologist, surgeon, and one of Hooker’s correspondents. The annotations – some extensive on the interleaved blue paper – are by John Buchanan – and are excellent examples of ‘Buchanan on Hooker’.

Today’s student engages in a subject that is now multidisciplinary, covering the gene to the ecosystem, and from the mountains to the sea. Of course the Department’s achievements are due to all staff: the technicians, the administrators, and the academics, and each have contributed greatly to the excellence in teaching and research that has been afforded to students, and more broadly to the general public, over many years. The Department is also very appreciative of the significant contributions made by its Emeritus and Honorary Professors, and other research associates.
This exhibition celebrates the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Botany Department at the University of Otago, which remains the only university Department of Botany in New Zealand. The Department is very proud of its heritage, and in looking ahead, considers Botany to be essential to society’s needs more than ever. Indeed, knowledge about plants is fundamental to our survival.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817–1911) has been called the greatest British botanist of the 19th century. His first major botanical expedition was on HMS <em>Erebus</em> as part of Captain James Clark Ross’s Antarctica expedition, 1839-1843. By his travels and publications such as <em>The Botany of the Antarctic Voyage of H.M. Discovery-Ships Erebus and Terror in 1839–1843</em> (1844–60); <em>Rhododendrons of Sikkim Himalaya</em> (1849);<em> The Flora of British India</em> (1872–97); <em>Handbook of the New Zealand Flora</em> (1864); and <em>Journal of a Tour in Marocco and the Great Atlas</em> (1878), Hooker built up a solid scientific reputation. In 1855 he succeeded his father, William Jackson Hooker, as Director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. In 1873 he was President of the Royal Society. He was also great friends with Charles Darwin.

Description
An account of the resource
Botany is a 21st century subject built on a rich heritage contributed to and developed by many. Although botany was taught at the University of Otago from the outset, it was in 1924 that the Botany Department was established, with the appointment of Dr J. E. Holloway. From his one ‘all-purpose’ room Holloway instructed others in the subject that involves the scientific study of plant life. After Holloway’s retirement in 1944, a number of dedicated staff kept the department functioning until 1946 when Geoff Baylis arrived as Head of the Department (HoD). He became the first Professor of Botany in 1952. Baylis was replaced by Professor Peter Bannister in 1979, who was HoD until 2003, when Associate Professor Paul Guy took over. Professor Bastow Wilson replaced Guy as HoD in 2008. Professor Jim Simpson became HoD in 2010, and Professor Katharine Dickinson in 2011.
Since 1924, students have been exposed to all aspects of the life of plants, algae, fungi, and other closely related organisms.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Sarah Featon (1848-1927) and her husband, Edward (d. 1909) considered their<em> Album</em> to be a work of ‘national importance’ and they set out ‘to prove how fallacious and incorrect’ the belief was that there were ‘no flowers in New Zealand’. Sarah was an accomplished artist and painted all 40 plates which Edward furnished with his equally florid text. In the frontispiece, here, the ripe red berries of the <em>Ripogonum scandens</em> (supplejack) sit top left; the pink and white blooms of the<em> Vitex littoralis</em> (puriri) lay amongst the foliage in the middle; the long, dark, plum-coloured fruit of the <em>Beilschmiedia tawa</em> (tawa) dangle middle right; and the eye-catching <em>Clianthus puniceus</em> or kaka beak appears in the middle front.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
William Lauder Lindsay (1829-1880), Scottish physician and botanist, arrived in Dunedin from Scotland on the 7th October, 1861. Lindsay chose to visit the Otago region because he thought it the best location with the ‘greatest botanical novelty’. Based in Fairfield, near Green Island, Lindsay conducted field research in the surrounding area, on the Taieri Plains and further south in the Tuapeka Ranges, and Kaitangata. Lindsay’s <em>Contributions</em> was a summation of his four month visit to the province. <em>Aciphylla colensoi</em> (above) (Gr. <em>acicula</em> – needle;<em> phylla</em> – leaf) is commonly known as giant speargrass. This evergreen’s foliage is sharp and spiky, and its growth widespread.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1862, Peter Thomson (1823-79) arrived in Dunedin from St Andrews, Scotland with his first wife and three children. He worked at the <em>Otago Daily Times</em> and the <em>Otago Witness</em> as a proof-reader. In 1871, he suggested that ‘gentlemen [who] associated for the purpose of studying the natural history of the district surrounding Dunedin’ should form an interest group. The first field trip to the Leith Valley took place in September. In October 1872 the first official meeting of the Dunedin Naturalists’ Field Club (DNFC) was held at the Otago Museum. J. S. Webb was duly elected first president, and the rules were decided upon; one of which was ‘Ladies are eligible for membership’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Helen Kirkland Dalrymple (c. 1883-1943) grew up in the Catlins, and graduated BA from the University of Otago in 1906. She became a teacher of Latin, English and Botany at Otago Girls’ High School where she took the girls on field trips and nurtured their enthusiasm for botany. Dalrymple was president of the Dunedin Naturalists' Field Club several times and when it was put forward that the club should ‘go into recess’, it was her determination that kept it going. Dalrymple was an expert on fungi. In her<em> Fungus Hunting</em>, which she also illustrated, she describes her travels to beech forests, sand hills and manuka groves in Otago, where she finds ‘creamy-coloured <em>Clavarias</em>, the scarlet-capped <em>Secotium</em>, [and] the red convoluted stalkless <em>Paurocotylis</em>.’

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
William Martin, local botanist, past president of the Dunedin Naturalists' Field Club (DNFC) and subsequent Life Member, first published this booklet in 1924 from a series of articles he wrote for the <em>Otago Daily Times</em>. Republished in 1962 to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the DNFC, the booklet was rewritten again in 1994 by Dr Ralph Allen ‘to bring the plant nomenclature up to date and take account of the changed nature…of Dunedin’s natural surroundings’. Dr Allen (b. 1948) graduated from the University of Otago with a PhD in Botany and worked for the DSIR and Landcare Research. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Orokonui Ecosanctuary in Dunedin. Both men were Loder Cup winners: Martin (1960); Allen (2012).

Description
An account of the resource
Botany is a 21st century subject built on a rich heritage contributed to and developed by many. Although botany was taught at the University of Otago from the outset, it was in 1924 that the Botany Department was established, with the appointment of Dr J. E. Holloway. From his one ‘all-purpose’ room Holloway instructed others in the subject that involves the scientific study of plant life. After Holloway’s retirement in 1944, a number of dedicated staff kept the department functioning until 1946 when Geoff Baylis arrived as Head of the Department (HoD). He became the first Professor of Botany in 1952. Baylis was replaced by Professor Peter Bannister in 1979, who was HoD until 2003, when Associate Professor Paul Guy took over. Professor Bastow Wilson replaced Guy as HoD in 2008. Professor Jim Simpson became HoD in 2010, and Professor Katharine Dickinson in 2011.
Since 1924, students have been exposed to all aspects of the life of plants, algae, fungi, and other closely related organisms. Today’s student engages in a subject that is now multidisciplinary, covering the gene to the ecosystem, and from the mountains to the sea. Of course the Department’s achievements are due to all staff: the technicians, the administrators, and the academics, and each have contributed greatly to the excellence in teaching and research that has been afforded to students, and more broadly to the general public, over many years. The Department is also very appreciative of the significant contributions made by its Emeritus and Honorary Professors, and other research associates.
This exhibition celebrates the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Botany Department at the University of Otago, which remains the only university Department of Botany in New Zealand. The Department is very proud of its heritage, and in looking ahead, considers Botany to be essential to society’s needs more than ever. Indeed, knowledge about plants is fundamental to our survival.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
About 6th December 1888, John Buchanan, draughtsman-botanist, received a presentation copy of <em>A Manual of the Grasses and Forage-plants Useful to New Zealand</em> (1887) from the author Thomas Mackay. Reviews of the day stressed the handy format and low price of Mackay’s useful guide, and remarked that if not found in every home in the country, it should be in every rural library. Mackay wanted to improve the quality of colour reproductions – like the white turnip (<em>Brassica rapa</em>) here – and asked Buchanan for a solution.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Otago Boys’ High School Science master George Malcolm Thomson (1848-1933) was an enthusiastic botanist. He wrote numerous scientific papers and articles on plants such as the violas (and their self-fertilization capabilities) and orchids. In 1891 he wrote an introductory book on botany for New Zealand high schools, and in 1922 his magnum opus appeared: <em>The Naturalisation of Plants and Animals in New Zealand</em>, in which he described over 1,200 introduced species. In 1882, he capitalised on the fern craze (Pteridomania) and produced one of the first succinct and useful accounts of ferns in New Zealand, describing some 145 species. Thomson was also a prime mover in establishing a marine research station, which was eventually housed at Portobello on the Otago Peninsula. This particular copy of <em>Ferns and Fern Allies</em> was owned by John Buchanan.

Here are University of New Zealand, University of Otago Botany A Paper a & b examination sheets for 1948. Given the choice of questions and the inherent complexities surrounding the desired answers, including instructions for ‘clear, well-labelled drawings where appropriate’, the student would be ‘scripting’ the full three hours. Like with many such occasions, time management is a key factor.

Professor Bastow Wilson replaced Guy as HoD in 2008. Professor Jim Simpson became HoD in 2010, and Professor Katharine Dickinson in 2011.
Since 1924, students have been exposed to all aspects of the life of plants, algae, fungi, and other closely related organisms. Today’s student engages in a subject that is now multidisciplinary, covering the gene to the ecosystem, and from the mountains to the sea. Of course the Department’s achievements are due to all staff: the technicians, the administrators, and the academics, and each have contributed greatly to the excellence in teaching and research that has been afforded to students, and more broadly to the general public, over many years. The Department is also very appreciative of the significant contributions made by its Emeritus and Honorary Professors, and other research associates.
This exhibition celebrates the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Botany Department at the University of Otago, which remains the only university Department of Botany in New Zealand. The Department is very proud of its heritage, and in looking ahead, considers Botany to be essential to society’s needs more than ever. Indeed, knowledge about plants is fundamental to our survival.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The appointment of the Reverend Dr John Ernest Holloway, FRS (1881-1945) to teach Botany at the University of Otago in 1924 was a great start for the Department. He was a highly regarded researcher and dedicated teacher, and his eventual work on <em>Pteridophyta</em> (ferns, clubmosses, etc) gained him world-wide recognition. However, the conditions he faced when he started were far from ideal: one room in the basement of the Otago Museum, which served as lecture theatre, laboratory, and office. Other resources were just as scarce. As sole member of staff he undertook all duties: collecting, preparing and displaying class material (so-called ‘lab boy duties’), administration, teaching at all levels, and research support. Here he is in a pensive mood, relaxing in the Botanic Garden of the Museum grounds.

Description
An account of the resource
Botany is a 21st century subject built on a rich heritage contributed to and developed by many. Although botany was taught at the University of Otago from the outset, it was in 1924 that the Botany Department was established, with the appointment of Dr J. E. Holloway. From his one ‘all-purpose’ room Holloway instructed others in the subject that involves the scientific study of plant life. After Holloway’s retirement in 1944, a number of dedicated staff kept the department functioning until 1946 when Geoff Baylis arrived as Head of the Department (HoD). He became the first Professor of Botany in 1952. Baylis was replaced by Professor Peter Bannister in 1979, who was HoD until 2003, when Associate Professor Paul Guy took over. Professor Bastow Wilson replaced Guy as HoD in 2008. Professor Jim Simpson became HoD in 2010, and Professor Katharine Dickinson in 2011.
