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.
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.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A herbarium or ‘library of plants’ contains dried and preserved specimens of plants, fungi, algae (seaweeds) and bryophytes (mosses and liverworts). The Otago Regional Herbarium, housed within the main building of the Botany Department, was established by Professor Geoff Baylis in the 1950s. The collection continues to expand, with some 70,000 specimens now in the Herbarium and it continues to play an important role in the Department. It provides an important historical record (the oldest specimen dates from the 1880s), and is vital for use in teaching and research. The largest herbarium in the world is housed at the Natural History Museum in Paris and has 9,500,000 specimens.

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.
Before J. E. Holloway arrived, botany at the University was taught by Miss Mary Winifred Betts (1894-1971), who graduated MSc First Class in natural science (botany) in 1917. Under Professor Benham, Head of Biology (Botany’s predecessor), Betts did a five-year stint of teaching to first year students taking medical, dental and home science degrees. Her efforts laid the groundwork for a degree programme for the Botany Department. In 1920 she married the mathematician Alexander Craig Aitken, which effectively signalled an end to her professional career.

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’.

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.
After J. E. Holloway retired because of illness in 1944, Brenda Shore (née Slade; 1922-1993) stepped in and taught Botany until the newly appointed Geoff Baylis began his duties in the Department. Shore’s specialty field was plant anatomy and morphogenesis, which she taught until her retirement as Associate Professor in 1983. Shore (and her family) established two significant legacies: the Shore Trust, which is aimed to assist research in Botany at the University; and the Brenda Shore Award for Women, which provides funding opportunities for women who are studying at postgraduate level in the natural sciences. Shore was a skilled artist and her <em>How to Identify Common N.Z. Trees & Shrubs in the Dunedin-Otago Area</em> (1978) contains many fine line drawings by her.

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.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Three ‘Botany’ Musketeers were Batham, Cookson and Shore. The fourth unofficial Musketeer was Ann Wylie, who helped out while finishing off her Honours thesis. Appointed to the Botany Department in 1961, she taught plant cytology and genetics. While undertaking postgraduate work in England, she was fortunate to work with C. D. Darlington (1903-81), an English biologist, geneticist and eugenicist, on a new edition of the <em>Chromosome Atlas of Cultivated Plants</em>. This publication, which described some 15,000 species and 2,500 genera, not only assisted the plant breeder by showing what species may be crossed and with what results, but it also provided the geneticist and evolutionist with the rules or laws of chromosome variation.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Dunedin and its surroundings did much to foster Greta Stevenson’s (1911-1990) love for botany. She attended the University of Otago in 1929 and was an outstanding botany student, graduating BSc in 1932 and MSc with first class honours in 1933. In 1934, a paper based on her MSc entitled ‘Life History of the New Zealand Species of the Parasitic Genus<em> Korthalsella</em>’ was published in the <em>Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New Zealand</em>, which greatly improved on descriptions by Hooker, Kirk, John Enys, and Cheeseman.

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.
It seems Thomas Kirk (1828-98) was destined to be a botanist as both his parents were nursery workers. Born in England, Kirk emigrated and arrived in Auckland in 1863. Initially working as a timber merchant, he became a lecturer of Natural Sciences and an eminent botanist. This Government-commissioned volume was a ‘descriptive account of the economic trees and shrubs’ of New Zealand. This plate of <em>Agathis australis</em> or kauri was drawn by John Boscawen (1851-1937) of the NZ Survey Department.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Thomas Frederic Cheeseman (1845-1923) began botanising soon after his arrival in New Zealand in 1854. He discovered many ‘new’ species, some of which he sent to Joseph Hooker. This Government-commissioned work features 268 native species drawn in 251 plates by Matilda Smith of the Royal Herbarium at Kew.<em> Metrosideros parkinsonii</em> or Parkinson’s rata is in the same genus as pohutakawa and can be found in the northwest of the South Island and on the Barrier Islands in the north. Named after Cook’s botanical artist, Sydney Parkinson, the rata flowers are a bright red.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Rongoā was a traditional Māori system of healing that comprised diverse practices such as herbal remedies, physical therapies (massage and manipulation), and spiritual healing, for which tohunga (expert practitioners) were often responsible. One small example of a homeopathic remedy used by local Māori was recorded by Dr T. M. Hocken on 17 November 1865, when he was called to an inquest at the Taieri River Hotel on the death of a young five year old. Note the use of leaves from the kowhai, ngaio and karamu trees.

<em>Phormium tenax</em> (flax) was a useful commodity for both Māori and Europeans, and Dr Thomas Morland Hocken had the presence of mind to save this sheet, which Edward McGlashan had made from flax plant in December 1866. Hocken’s note reads: ‘This is a good specimen of his paper for books & shows how well it takes ink.’

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
To store and preserve tītī (muttonbird), Southern Māori turned to local natural resources. The birds (<em>Puffinus griseus</em>) are placed inside blades of kelp (seaweeds, belonging to the brown algae class <em>Phaeophyceae</em>), the air is removed (a sort of vacuum packing), and then the kelp is protected with a covering of bark from the totara tree. This all forms a pōhā. Finally, a small woven basket is created to provide support to the bottom of the pōhā. This replica was hand-crafted by Graham Metzger, a respected kaumātua (elder) from Awarua Rūnaka. It was gifted to Professor Kath Dickinson, now Head of Botany, in 2009.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The collecting of the raw materials - the kelp, the flax, the totara bark – to make a pōhā takes much time and effort. And then there are the muttonbirds (tītī), which have to be caught, plucked and readied for storing. Graham Metzger’s narrative of the intricate processes is written by Hana Pomare for this Māori language edition. The photographs on display show the muttonbirds being pushed into the kelp bag.

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.
