Nikolaus Joseph Jacquin’s American Plants offers a detailed account of the Austrian botanical expedition to the Caribbean that took place between 1754 and 1759, culminating in the publication of the Selectarum stirpium americanarum historia (1763) by the famous Dutch-born scientist, the first Linnaean botanist in the New World. Novel findings about Jacquin’s family and early life are given. Through a careful reading of Jacquin’s own publications, letters and manuscripts, Santiago Madriñán provides, from a botanist’s perspective, a meticulous description of the places visited by Jacquin and the plants he collected. The splendid color illustrations of the plants published in the luxury second edition of the Selectarum in 1780 are here reprinted, together with an annotated list of the species described. This title was awarded the Stafleu Medal for 2015 for publications of 2013 and 2014 for outstanding publications in historical, bibliographical, and/or nomenclatural aspects of plant taxonomy.

Jardins et plantes cultivées, fruits et légumes ou végétaux d'ornement, sont entrés depuis peu dans le domaine du patrimoine. La sauvegarde des espèces en voie de disparition, la redécouverte et la restauration des jardins historiques, ont en quelques années mobilisé responsables publics et militants associatifs, amateurs et professionnels, spécialistes et gens ordinaires. Dans le succès des expositions-ventes de plantes rares, la floraison des collections inédites, le vigoureux combat des associations pour la préservation des variétés locales ou la renaissance de l'art des jardins, l'auteur décèle bien plus qu'un phénomène de mode, l'éclosion de formes nouvelles de sensibilité à la nature et au passé. Le patrimoine végétal, parce qu'il est vivant et impossible à muséifier, met à l'épreuve les procédures et les modes de gestion traditionnels, oblige à tenir compte des dimensions du temps et de l'usage, et donc à penser en termes nouveaux la question du patrimoine.

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.
