Abstract

Ils étaient médecins, pharmaciens, curés, agriculteurs, militaires, employés, instituteurs ou professeurs. Ils ont parcouru les routes et les sentiers, les prés, les bois et les marais de leur canton. Ils ont observé, décrit, nommé, classé les plantes à fleurs qu’ils collectaient. Ils ont échangé des correspondances, constitué des herbiers, publié de brèves notices dans des bulletins scientifiques ou entrepris des flores régionales ou nationales. C’est à eux que l’on doit la connaissance des espèces végétales poussant sur le sol de la France. Ce faisant, ils ont réalisé un inventaire sans lequel les travaux sur la biodiversité, son histoire et sa distribution géographique, comme les mesures en faveur de sa protection, ne seraient pas possibles. Devenus célèbres ou demeurés presque obscurs, ces botanistes revivent ici par le texte et l’illustration, dans autant de biographies qui retracent leurs itinéraires personnels et les resituent dans leur temps et dans l’évolution de la systématique végétale du xviiie siècle à nos jours.

Abstract

This stunning book of photographs by Robyn Stacey, one of Australia's greatest photographers, is the first of its kind. Together with essayist, Ashley Hay, they throw open the closed doors of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney herbarium, and reveal the secret history of Australia's flora. Herbarium tells fascinating stories about the nature of collecting, those who collected, what they collected and when, and the scientific background to each of the specimens. A glossary of botanical descriptions provides a unique link between the specimens and their collectors, and exquisite photographs of the botanical specimens - some now extinct - comprise a collection of rare beauty.

This volume does not stand alone, neither in splendid nor terrifying isolation, but as the third volume in a trilogy meant to be a commentary on the botanophilia that captured the literate public in 18th-century France, the very time that botany was becoming established as a science independent from medicine and herbal ism. Even though the components of that phenomenon have been examined indi­ vidually by earlier scholars, a synthesis of them, founded upon a reliable command of the history of botany, has been wanting.
