Abstract:
Dawyck became the third Regional Garden and part of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1978. Today the garden extends to some 25 hectares (60 acres) (See Map, Fig. 1) and is the woodland garden of what was once a considerably larger designed landscape centered on Dawyck House, which is currently a private residence. The garden today has some of the oldest plants in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh’s living collection including an Abies alba, planted in 1690, and several Larix decidua, planted in 1725. It has recorded perhaps the greatest extremes of temperature, –19.8 °C in December 1995 and 29.9 °C in August 2006, of any of the four gardens.

Abstract:
Many botanic gardens produce catalogues of plants growing in their gardens on either a regular or ad hoc basis. These catalogues are useful for reference and archive purposes and their production has added benefits such as the necessity to stocktake the collection and clarify nomenclature prior to publication. Many now also contain interesting introductory material such as collection statistics, histories of the gardens and information about significant plants in the collection. This paper describes the value of producing catalogues, reviews four diverse approaches to catalogues (from the Arnold Arboretum, Ness Botanic Gardens, Oxford Botanic Garden and Utrecht Botanic Garden) and then describes the catalogues produced by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, before culminating in a description of Edinburgh’s 2006 Catalogue.

Abstract:
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) was founded in 1670 and celebrated its 350th anniversary in 2020. In Edinburgh, Scotland, the institution has occupied four different sites in that time and has been at the current site in Inverleith since 1823. Three other gardens in Scotland are also part of RBGE: Dawyck in Peebleshire, Benmore in Argyllshire and Logan in Dumfries & Galloway. 13,750 species from 2721 genera representing 344 families are cultivated in these four gardens and this article describes some of these collections. It also describes the issues facing the Garden today in common with many large and botanic gardens, those of plant health, implementing environmentally sustainable working practices, and managing collections in the face of a changing climate and growing visitor numbers. The Garden is also planning an exciting future with ambitious plans for new buildings and the refurbishment of historical structures to not only improve plant cultivation facilities, but also to increase visitor engagement and education about the value of plants for a healthy future.

Abstract:
AbstractCalcutta Botanic Garden occupies a prime riverside site three miles downstream from the centre of Calcutta. It is most famous as the home of the world's largest tree, a vast spreading banyan. Its grand avenues, named after its founders and the fathers of Indian botany, convey something of its former glory. In the nineteenth century it was the greatest of all the colonial botanic gardens and an important scientific institution; two of its superintendents were knighted and one went on to become Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, the very centre of the imperial botanical network. The Garden is of considerable importance as it was one of the earliest institutions in India based on western science. This survey will look at the reasons for its foundation, and how it successfully established itself in its first twenty years.

Abstract:
Botanic gardens, with their large holdings of living plants collected from around the world, are important guardians of plant biodiversity, but acquiring and curating these genetic resources is enormously expensive. For these reasons it is crucial that botanic gardens document and curate their collections in order to gain the greatest benefit from the plants in their care. Great priority is given to making detailed field notes and the process of documentation is often continued during the plants formative years when being propagated. However, for the large majority of plants this process often stops once the material is planted in its final garden location. The Data Capture Project at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is an attempt to document specific aspects of the plant collections so that the information captured can be of use to the research community even after the plants have died.

Full text
Abstract:
Phenological monitoring at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) began in the mid 19th century, and is now being developed as a number of projects. In view of the wide range of plantclimate interactions, it is recommended that projects are designed with clear and limited objectives, and are then conducted consistently and to a high standard over a long period. The projects at RBGE are outlined, and the suitability of botanic gardens in general for phenology is discussed. A distinction is drawn between 'organism phenology' and 'population phenology', and also between 'extensive' and 'intensive' approaches to project design. The variety of possible projects is illustrated by a number of completed and on-going projects in the UK, USA and northern Eurasia. It is suggested that botanic gardens can enhance their service to society by becoming phenological monitoring stations.

Abstract:
It is well known that a disproportionate number of plant collectors for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in the late 18th and 19th centuries were Scottish gardeners. Another important source of plants for Kew in its early days were the specialist London plant nurseries that were run by Scots. Less well known is the preponderance of Scots found in other areas of Kew’s work – gardeners in charge of the botanic garden, curators of various departments and gardeners who transferred to colonial botanic gardens. This Scottish phenomenon was not unique to Kew: it was found in other botanical and non-botanical institutions in London and the provinces. This paper charts the extent of the phenomenon and, on the basis of 18th- and 19th-century sources, analyses its causes.

Morrow, Lorna Helen. "Geographies of botanical knowledge : the work of John Hutton Balfour, 1845-1879." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/33248.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis forms a contribution to the historical geography of botanical knowledge. It examines the writings, teaching and public engagement in botany of John Hutton Balfour (1808-1884), Regius Professor of Botany and Medicine at the University of Edinburgh and Regius Keeper of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) between 1845 and 1879. The thesis explores the methods and approaches used by Balfour to promote botany. It pays specific attention to his scientific correspondence, publications, teaching and pedagogical practices (including fieldwork) and to his role in promoting the Botanical Society of Edinburgh. The curriculum Balfour constructed covered the major aspects of nineteenth-century botanical knowledge: plant structure, morphology and classification as well as aspects then 'on the fringes' of becoming popular - plant physiology. In order to teach this curriculum, Balfour meticulously shaped scientific, pedagogic and social spaces into places of scientific production and discovery. Study of his published work, classroom, field sites and involvement with the public sphere together form the principal elements of this thesis. These are the central places and productive sites in which his botany was made. Balfour's published work allowed him to develop theoretical aspects in his view of botany. For Balfour, writing was an occupation about which he cared deeply both in terms of its role in knowledge circulation but also from a personal perspective. His publication of texts suitable for several distinct audiences (while financially rewarding,) was also an excellent method of circulating botanical and religious knowledge, two topics he was passionate to promote. The classroom provided the setting for Balfour to teach through practical instruction. He employed sensory stimulating objects in order to encourage students to learn the skill of botanical identification and observation. The 'field', like the classroom, was also a site of practical instruction. Balfour's construction of 'the field' was careful and deliberate. It was based on familiarity of location, experience of working in the field, and an extensive knowledge of the geographical distribution of plants in Scotland. Balfour's engagement with the public was evident in his involvement with the Botanical Society of Edinburgh (BSE), and by lectures delivered to groups with the object of moral improvement through botany. The thesis situates Balfour's work within recent literature on the historical geography of scientific knowledge, with particular attention to the importance of place and the sites of science's making. In this way, Balfour's work is illustrative of wider elements of the situated production, and variable dissemination, of scientific (botanical) knowledge.

Brennan, E. "Heterogeneous cloth : an ethnography of the coming into being of barkcloth artefacts at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and amongst the Nuaulu of Nua Nea Village, Maluku, Eastern Indonesia." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2017. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10037521/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis uses barkcloth artefacts as a methodological point of entry and fieldsite, to explore their material properties. It argues that the material properties of barkcloth artefacts are indexical of social relations, as it moves between contexts; exploring the nature of properties as inherently diverse or diversely exploited, rather than homogenously embedded. The thesis argues that properties are processual, and uses the operational sequence or chaîne opératoire as a route to beginning to unpack the attribution of these qualities. The thesis follows the material through two distinct contexts; beginning with a collection of barkcloth artefacts in the Economic Botany Collection, at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Here artefacts illustrate the relationship between people and plants through technical process; and are packed within the botanical episteme and a British history of material relations, exploitation and development. From within the collections store, laboratory, and herbarium at Kew, material origins and structure are foregrounded as inherent to material identity. From Kew, research relocates to Maluku in eastern Indonesia; to a region situated historically as foundational in the exploitation of plant ‘resources’ and botanical exploration. Thematically then, the region is congruous with the Kew context. Nuaulu barkcloth artefacts, as explored in Nua Nea village, on Seram island are efficacious in male life-transformation rituals, and clan constitution. Barkcloth properties are generative and contingent. The efficacy of these artefacts is inseparable from the proximal dynamics as managed through their ongoing coming into being: bodily, temporal and territorial. A processual approach to barkcloth artefacts’ material properties across contexts allows access to the nature and diversity of the relationships between humans and non-humans: in this case, with plants, and trees. This is in what plant materials are able to reflect back at us, as transformed living kinds.

Full text
Abstract:
Citizen science engages members of the nonscientific community in academic research, contributing to our collective knowledge of the natural environment through biological monitoring and environmental observations. Observation plots are often used to assess pollinator diversity and abundance in citizen science monitoring programs. To ensure that data collected are reliable, citizen observations should be evaluated against controlled scientific studies. I designed this project to assess the accuracy of citizen observations of bees in order to enhance the efficacy of PollinatorWatch, a Canadian pollinator monitoring program. PollinatorWatch engages volunteers in collecting observational data on bees visiting flowers but the program???s effectiveness at reporting on bee faunal information has not been evaluated. Specifically, I was interested in determining how PollinatorWatch could be standardized to validate the efforts of participants. Research took place in mixed meadow habitats at two urban conservation areas, the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, ON and the rare Charitable Research Reserve in Cambridge, ON. I trained 19 citizen scientists to observe and record bees visiting flowers using broad species-groups based on recognizable features (e.g. Green bee) or familiar bees (e.g. Bumble bee). Over the course of one summer, I conducted a survey of bees using pan-trapping and sweep netting at eleven sites. I collected 1864 bees of 74 species, verified by experts. Additionally, volunteers made observations at six of the eleven sites. To evaluate the reliability of citizen science data, I compared observations (observation data set, 590 bees) to specimens (specimen data set, 1041 bees) collected from the same sites. I found positive correlations in bee abundance among the two data sets (Spearman???s ?? ranged from 0.8 to 1, p-values 0.017 to 0.333), though information collected by volunteers was more robust over the long-term (season-wide observations) than the short-term (single observations). Observations more closely matched netted + pan-trapped bees than netted bees alone but observers recorded approximately half as many bees as were collected. Discrepancies between observational and specimen-based data were greatest for species-groups that lumped a large variety of bees (e.g. Small bee), so I propose changes to the PollinatorWatch protocol to reduce identification errors. Although the scope of this project was limited by the number of participants and the habitats surveyed, I suggest that PollinatorWatch can be improved by further studies that examine a revised, standardized observation protocol that would serve to improve data quality. In this way, citizen science contributions may more reliably complement more localized, hypothesis-driven bee research while also enhancing participants??? own understanding of environmental monitoring.

Full text
Abstract:
The Douglas Summerland Collection is a fictional "monographically based history"1. In essence this research is concerned with the current debates about history recording, authenticity of the photograph, methods of history construction and how the audience digests new 'knowledge'. The narrative for this body of work is drawn from a small album of maritime photographs discovered in 2004 within the archives of the Port Chalmers Regional Maritime Museum in New Zealand. The album contains vernacular images of life onboard several sailing ships from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including the DH Sterling and the William Mitchell. Through investigating the'truth' systems promoted by the photograph within the presentations of histories this research draws a link between the development of colonialism and the perception of photography. It also deliberates on how 'truth' perception is still a major part of an audience's knowledge base. 1.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the famous botanist and director of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Joseph Hooker, and his journeys in South Asia. Joseph Hooker’s journeys provide a typical case study of a significant shift in the network of exchange from a diversity of people engaged in botanical “discovery” to a white, male-dominated profession. While professional botanists such as Joseph Hooker relied on indigenous knowledge about cultivation, soil erosion, adaptation and medicinal uses of plants collected in British holdings, local collectors who performed the majority of the work increasingly became silent partners in “discovery.” Botany and the expansion of Empire are intimately tied during the mid-nineteenth century and the hardening of the colonial categories of race, class and gender is evidenced by this shift towards botany as an exclusionary science. The professionalization of botany led to the exclusion of women and colonial subjects from the science of discovery.

Abstract:
Магнолии, обладая высокими декоративными свойствами цветков, листьев, оригинальностью плодов, являются ценнейшим материалом для садово-паркового строительства. По продолжительности использования в культуре эти растения входят в группу наиболее распространенных, популярных и перспективных декоративных растений. В настоящее время широкое культивирование магнолий по всему миру подтверждает их широкий географический диапазон для выращивания. Самые многочисленные коллекции магнолий находятся в Alnarp Agricultural University (Sweden) – 1000 видов, гибридов, сортов и форм, Chollipo Arboretum (Korea) – более 600 видовых и внутривидовых таксонов, Stitching Arboretum Wespelaar (Belgium) – 279 таксонов, Royal Botanic Garden, Kew (UK) – 250 таксонов, Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College (USA) –150 таксонов, South China Botanical Garden (China) – 130 таксонов [2]. В России ведущими местами по выращиванию магнолий в культуре являются Никитский ботанический сад в г. Ялта, парк «Дендрарий» в г. Сочи, Ботанический сад г. Сухуми и Главный Ботанический сад им. Н.В. Цицина, где магнолии выращивают с начала XIX века [1]. В настоящее время наибольшими по таксономическому разнообразию являются коллекции магнолий в Субтропическом ботаническом саду Кубани (г. Сочи) – 58 видовых и внутривидовых таксонов, частная коллекции А.А. Миляева в Воронеже – 85 таксонов. В Крыму, помимо Никитского ботанического сада, существует дендрологическая коллекция Ботанического сада им. Н.В. Багрова (г. Симферополь), которая насчитывает 9 таксонов листопадных магнолий, а также частная коллекция Н.В. Лепешко, которая находится в Предгорном Крыму в с. Перевальное (16 таксонов) [5]. В Санкт-Петербурге в Ботаническом саду Петра Великого также располагается коллекция магнолий, представленная 9 видами [6]. Магнолии получили широкое распространение и на территориях стран постсоветского пространства: Украине, Таджикистане и Кыргызстане [1; 4]. В Беларуси магнолии впервые появились на территории Центрального ботанического сада Национальной академии наук в 1958 году. И в настоящее время основным местом интродукции магнолий является ботанический сад, где произрастает 9 видов, 1 подвид и 14 сортов рода Magnolia L. Замечено, что интродуцированные виды магнолий, произрастающие в саду, по размерам, компактности и габитусу кроны отличаются от видов, произрастающих в культурных ареалах. Наличие немногочисленных экземпляров саженцев в магнолиевом саду и небольшое количество насекомых-опылителей приводит к низкому уровню перекрестного опыления. Несмотря на это, все виды и сорта изученных магнолий хорошо адаптировались в условиях Беларуси и являются перспективной культурой для нашей республики [3].
