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.
<strong>Historic Brendel Plant Models</strong>: Robert Brendel (d. 1898) began making models of botanical specimens in the late 1860s in Breslau in what is now Poland. The models are made from various materials including papier-mâché, wood, plaster, gelatin, cotton, rattan, glass beads and feathers. Each model was made from a mould and painted by hand. Brendel models became known for their large size, their accuracy, and their detachable parts to enable further investigation. They became an essential part of the resources of any institution teaching botany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These are just a small selection of the models owned by the Botany Department at Otago which were procured for the university by T.J. Parker (1850-97), the first Professor of Biology.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In the late 1950s, Eleanor Lillywhite Hellaby (d. 1967), daughter of William Hellaby of the Hellaby butchery empire, was looking for a worthy cause to benefit from her estate after her death. In 1959, Miss Hellaby (known as Lilly) was persuaded by her brother Arthur and Gordon Cunningham, a DSIR plant scientist, to set up the Miss E. L. Hellaby Indigenous Grasslands Research Trust. At the time indigenous grasslands were being steadily eroded by the encroachment of pastoral farming and there was a lack of funding for research into and support of these important ecological areas. Arthur Hellaby thought that since the Hellaby family livelihood had gained so much from the land, it was an admirable opportunity to give something back. Notable Chairs of the Trust have included Professors Geoff Baylis and Sir Alan Mark.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
After completing a PhD on onions, where he wittingly said ‘he wept out the war – dissecting onions for the Ministry of Food’ – Dr Martin Holdsworth (1920-1990) took up a position in the Botany Department in 1948, teaching medical, dental and home science students. Apart from a seven year stint in Ghana, he taught at Otago until he retired as associate professor in 1979. Holdsworth’s scholarly publications spanned a wide range of topics, including carbon dioxide uptake by succulents, the growth of mango trees, and the vegetation of Great Island, part of Three Kings Islands (Manawatawhi). Here is an early paper by him on the leaf movements of soybean.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
About 6th December 1888, John Buchanan, draughtsman-botanist, received a presentation copy of <em>A Manual of the Grasses and Forage-plants Useful to New Zealand</em> (1887) from the author Thomas Mackay. Reviews of the day stressed the handy format and low price of Mackay’s useful guide, and remarked that if not found in every home in the country, it should be in every rural library. Mackay wanted to improve the quality of colour reproductions – like the white turnip (<em>Brassica rapa</em>) here – and asked Buchanan for a solution.

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.
To ward off an outbreak of scurvy on board, Cook looked to a local resource while at Dusky Sound. His use of rimu leaves to create spruce beer was certainly innovative. And it was not a one-time occasion. George Vancouver (1757-1798), who accompanied Cook on the second and third voyages, also utilised the same when he called at Dusky Sound during November 1791. The ‘good effects’ on the crew of spruce beer are mentioned as well as Vancouver’s use of a species of cypress and ‘tea plant’ for brewing at sea. The Scottish surgeon Archibald Menzies (1754–1842) was with Vancouver. During his botanising he discovered two well-known plants: <em>Dracophyllum menziesii</em> (dragon leaf) and <em>Nothofagus</em> (<em>Lophozonia</em>)<em> menziesii</em> (silver beech).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
For many years, Māori have used flax (<em>Phormium tenax</em> and <em>Phormium cookianum</em>, known as harakeke and wharariki respectively) for medicinal purposes and for rope-making and matting. Early European visitors such as Banks also realised the potential of the plant, especially its usefulness in rope-making. Painter William Hodges (1744-1797) accompanied Cook on his second voyage to the Pacific. Although renowned for his landscape paintings, Hodges also executed botanical drawings like this flax illustration for Cook’s <em>A Voyage towards the South Pole</em> (1777).

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.
Botany, a term from the Ancient Greek word βοτάνη (<em>botane</em>) meaning ‘pasture’, ‘grass’ or ‘fodder’, is the scientific study of plant life. Being one of the oldest sciences, it once involved identifying and cultivating edible, medicinal and poisonous plants; picture the village herbalist, and physic gardens, often attached to monasteries and later, universities. As scientific knowledge and technologies advanced so did botanical studies. Today’s student of botany is faced with a subject that is now multidisciplinary, and increasingly studied at different scales from the gene to the ecosystem. No matter what the approach is, this 2014 brochure states a truism: ‘knowledge about plants is fundamental to our survival.’

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Whether staff are busy out in the field, or teaching students; researching; on sabbatical; or coping with the myriad of other tasks that bind a Department together, it is often difficult to gather everyone together at the same time. A gathering in 2013 brought most together, including John Steel (Botany Teaching Fellow), Kath McGilbert (Department Administrator), technical staff Vickey Tomlinson, Susan MacKenzie, Hadley O’Sullivan, Rebecca MacDonald, and Stewart Bell. The Department of Botany is the Administration Centre for the Ecology Degree Programme. Dr Haseeb Randhawa (fourth from left) is the Ecology Senior Teaching Fellow, whose research interests focus on marine ecosystems, particularly shark parasitology. Two people not in this photograph and who joined the Department recently are Michelle McKinlay, office administrator, and Dr Linn Hoffmann.
