Smith Office: SLB 425 Tel: 438 8574 Email: jsmith@ilstu.edu Laboratory Guide: provided as handouts Introduction Botany traditionally deals with the biology of plants, which can either be a general reference to all green, photosynthetically autotropic organisms or restricted to members of the Plant Kingdom, whatever that may include. Traditionally the study of fungi and bacteria were considered botany as well. Phylogenetic studies now place photosynthetic autotrophs in several different lineages, Eubacteria (Cyanobacteria, Sulfur Bacteria), Alveolates (ciliated protists), Stramenopiles (Brown Algae, Diatoms, and Chrysophytes), and the Plants consisting of Red Algae, Green Algae, and Embryophytes (land plants). The general phylogenetic relationships of living organisms will be reviewed to place these organisms in context. Presently, seed plants, both Gymnosperms and Angiosperms, form the dominant terrestrial flora, and because of their dominance ecologically and their economic importance, they are the primary subjects of most botany courses. This course will attempt to place the success of seed plants in an evolutionary and ecological perspective. The reproductive adaptations of these plants cannot be understood without examining their historical origins. Flowers and fruits only make sense when placed in a historical context. Major evolutionary events in plant history (origin of the land plant life cycle, invasion of land, coal swamp vegetation, origin of leaves, origin of the pollen/seed habit) will be topics of more detailed discussions.

Clarendon Press / Oxford University Press, Oxford. 1992. xi+191 pp. ISBN 0-19-857767-2. As some of you will have noticed by now, I have been looking for a good introductory book about cladistics. I have, in fact, been looking for some years now, and it's been a pretty depressing process. While I don't claim to have any moral relationship to either King Arthur or Don Quixote, the zetetic legends surrounding these two figures are beginning to seem very realistic to me. Unfortunately, after reading this book, I have realized that my quest has not yet come to an end. Most of the systematics books that I've encountered so far in my search have either been written by someone who claims little expertise in cladistics, and who therefore misrepresents it out of ignorance, or they have been written by experts who get so tied up in the minutiae that they can't see the wood for the trees. The first of these books make good compost, while the second type are only of practical use to the cognoscenti This is not to say that there aren't some good general introductions out there. For example, the chapter by Michael G. Simpson in

Son of a famous botanist, Augustin-Pyramus de Candolle (1778-1841), he took over his father's botanic garden with a vast collection. De Candolle remained a creationist into the 1850s even as Hooker moved towards Darwin's views, and write a massive tome on plant geography that assumed the derivation of each species from a specially created individual. He drafted the international rules of botanical nomenclature in 1867. His most famous book Origin of Cultivated Plants (1882) is the beginning crop geography (see Reading on the origins of apple and Reading on the origin of maize). Many disciplines were used to determine the origin of cultivated plants:

Extractions: Yale Medical School The Envisioned by Yale President Ezra Stiles, medical instruction came to fruition under the presidency of Timothy Dwight. The Medical Institution of Yale College, chartered in 1810, and opened in 1813, was a joint project of Yale and the Connecticut Medical Society. This relationship to the state society was unusual among medical colleges and proved beneficial to the college in its early years. The medical school flourished in its early years especially due to the reputations of Nathan Smith, Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physic and Surgery, and Benjamin Silliman, Professor of Chemistry. This illustration of the Medical Institution of Yale College, located on Grove Street, appeared appeared in E. Porter Belden, Sketches of Yale College , New York, 1843.

Extractions: Papers Access to Manuscript Collections Biographical Note Contents Listing MSS 0020 T.G.B. Osborn obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Manchester in 1908 with First Class Honours in Botany, and was appointed Lecturer in Economic Botany in the University upon his graduation. The position was renewed in September 1910 with the status of Senior Lecturer. In 1911 he proceeded to the degree of Master of Science, and in February 1912 applied for the position of Professor of Botany at the University of Adelaide, with the support and encouragement of F.E. Weiss, Professor of Botany at Manchester. In May 1912 he was notified of his appointment and took up the position in September. As the Foundation Professor of Botany at Adelaide Osborn was responsible for establishing the botany course and department, for although Botany had been taught within the Arts degree course from 1877 (as part of biology) and from 1882 as a separate subject within the new Science degree course, it was available only as a single subject, largely devoted to taxonomic work. From 1913 a three year Botany course and an Honours degree in Botany were introduced into the syllabus, and particular compulsory courses in plant pathology and mycology and agricultural botany were also established for students in Agriculture.
