About the Book

"... Le jardin royal de Calcutta a été fondé en 1786, par le colonel Robert Hyd, qui en fut le premier directeur. Dans la liste de ses successeurs, on trouve les noms célèbres de Roxburgh, de Wallich et celui de Griffîth, le plus grand naturaliste de notre siècle dans l'extrême Orient. Actuellement, le jardin de Calcutta se trouve, depuis plusieurs années, sous la direction aussi savante qu'habile du docteur G. King, aux soins duquel l'herbier de Calcutta doit sa grande réputation. Le jardin royal de Peradeniya, dans l'île de Ceylan, date de 1821. Situé, près de Kandy, à une altitude de presque 500 mètres, jouissant d'un climat chaud et humide, occupant une superficie de plus de 60 hectares et relié, comme il l'est, au port de Colombo par un chemin de fer, le jardin de Peradeniya se trouve sous tous les rapports dans les conditions les plus favorables. Pendant de bien longues années il a été dirigé par le docteur Thwaites, homme d'un réel mérite, mais d'après lequel un jardin botanique dans un pays tropical devait être, en quelque sorte, une copie réduite de la forêt vierge. Ce système, plus original que méritoire, excluait tout arrangement méthodique des plantes et restreignait forcément le nombre des étiquettes. Dès son arrivée à Ceylan, il y a neuf ans, le successeur du docteur Thwaites, le docteur H. Trimen, a immédiatement compris les inconvénients de la manière de voir de son prédécesseur. Distribuer sur un terrain d'une soixantaine d'hectares, sans ordre quelconque, un grand nombre de plantes pour la plupart non étiquetées, c'est entraver fatalement, et à un degré très sensible, l'emploi scientifique des riches collections qu'on a su réunir..."
