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.
This Brendel model depicts a potato (<em>Solanum tuberosum</em>) skin infected with blight – <em>Phytophthera infestans.</em> This fungal organism (shown here as a light green tendril) turns potatoes to mush and was responsible for the Great Famine which devastated Ireland in the mid-19th century.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<em>Salvia officinalis</em> or common sage has been used for centuries to flavour food and as a medicinal remedy. It has been used in the past to ‘ward off evil’ and the Plague; as a cure for snakebites; a diuretic; a treatment for asthma; to stop bleeding; and more recently has ‘shown promise in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease’ (Perry, et al. 2005). Sage flowers are edible and come in the late spring and through the summer months.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<em>Marchantia polymorpha</em> (umbrella liverwort) grows worldwide. It is dioecious which means that the plant has separate male and female parts and this model depicts the female reproductive organ which can grow up to 10 centimetres in length; the ‘spokes’ of the umbrella-like structure house the egg-producing organs. The University of Cambridge hosts a website exclusively devoted to the liverwort, <em>Marchantia polymorpha</em>.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 2003, local Dunedin artist Murray Webb was commissioned by Dr David Holdsworth to make a sketch of Professor Geoff Baylis. It was presented to the eminent botanist at his 90th birthday celebrations, and features Baylis sitting amidst leaves of <em>Pennantia baylisiana</em>, the rarest tree in the world. This plant was discovered by Baylis while on a field trip on Great Island, part of Three Kings, 64 kms north of Cape Maria van Dieman, in 1963.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Batham (1917-1974) graduated with first-class honours in botany and zoology from Otago, and went on to complete a doctorate in Cambridge. Although retaining an interest in botany, it was marine biology that truly won the day. Batham was instrumental in setting up the Portobello Marine Research station, of which she became director. Back in 1945, before the arrival of Baylis, and in response to J. E. Holloway’s intention of announcing there would be no botany lectures that year, she, Margaret Cookson and Brenda Shore initiated a strategy to keep the Botany Department functioning. Batham delivered senior classes at stage II and III.

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.
In the late 1950s, Eleanor Lillywhite Hellaby (d. 1967), daughter of William Hellaby of the Hellaby butchery empire, was looking for a worthy cause to benefit from her estate after her death. In 1959, Miss Hellaby (known as Lilly) was persuaded by her brother Arthur and Gordon Cunningham, a DSIR plant scientist, to set up the Miss E. L. Hellaby Indigenous Grasslands Research Trust. At the time indigenous grasslands were being steadily eroded by the encroachment of pastoral farming and there was a lack of funding for research into and support of these important ecological areas. Arthur Hellaby thought that since the Hellaby family livelihood had gained so much from the land, it was an admirable opportunity to give something back. Notable Chairs of the Trust have included Professors Geoff Baylis and Sir Alan Mark.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Dunedin-born Ella Orr Campbell (1910-2003) graduated from the University of Otago with an MA in 1935. Between 1937 and 1944 she lectured at Otago; her speciality was liverworts, ferns, orchids (she was an accredited judge), and the wetlands of New Zealand. In 1945 she joined the faculty at Massey University, Palmerston North, and although ‘retiring’ in 1976, she kept researching, especially on ‘her beloved bryophytes’ (<em>New Zealand Garden Journa</em>l, 2003). In 1997, she was made a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, with her citation reading: ‘pioneer in the field of university botanic research’.

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.
Students studying Botany at the University of Otago are exposed to all aspects of the life of plants. This includes plant structure and development, physiology and biochemistry, genetics, health and disease, relationships with other organisms and the environment (ecology), as well as traditional aspects of plant identification and classification. As the student progresses more specialised botanical papers are offered, including New Zealand Plant Ecology, Marine Botany, and Plant Diversity and Evolution.

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.
Every drop of pond water is teeming with life and many of the organisms found living there are able to fix carbon via photosynthesis. For this reason they are often studied by botanists. Can you identify some of the photosynthetic organisms in this image?

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Dunedin-born Alan Mark joined the Botany Department at Otago University in 1955, after completing his MSc: ‘A study of the vegetation of the Maungatua Range’ (1954). In 1975 he was appointed Professor of Botany, and in 1978 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. In December 2009, he was made a Knight of the New Zealand Order of Merit, the first such for services to conservation. Indeed, Mark is one of New Zealand’s foremost plant ecologists and conservationists.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The milkcap mushroom (<em>Lactarius hauroko</em> ined.) is produced by a fungus that grows on the roots of southern beech (<em>Nothofagu</em>s) trees. The mushroom is distinctive because it produces a milky latex on the gills and cap when damaged. The fungus benefits trees growth by enhancing phosphate nutrition.
