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 is a specimen card from the Otago Regional Herbarium and contains various species of mosses. They are from the <em>Orthotrichaceae</em> family which contains about 600 species in about 27 genera. They usually grow as ‘mats’ and are epiphytic, meaning they grow on another plant in a non-parasitic way.

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).
