Köhler, Piotr (Author)
: Józef Warszewicz (1812--1866), one of the most prolific nineteenth century plant collectors and one of the top field experts on American plants of his time, after spending sever plants of his time, after spending several years on expeditions to Central and South America, was to be employed as Inspector (the main gardener) of the Botanical Garden of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. His employment encountered resistance from the Ministry of Denominations and Education in Vienna. After a nearly four year effort Warszewicz took up his post in Kraków in 1854. He worked on the reorganisation of the Botanical Garden and supervised new projects there. His activities contributed to an expansion of the Botanical Garden's plant collections. Warszewicz also brought a herbarium and a collection of tropical animals to Kraków. During his life in Kraków, Warszewicz was widely honoured, and after his death, a monument was erected to him and one of Kraków's streets was named after him. Keywords: botanical collections, Józef Warszewicz, Kraków Botanical Garden, orchids, zoological collections
