In context of the last International Congress of History of Science and Technology on ―Ideas and Instruments in Social Context‖ held in Budapest from 28 July to 2 August 2009, Brigitte Hoppe and I were pleased to propose a symposium about the ―formation of experimentation in natural sciences and especially in plant sciences from 18th to 19th centuries‖. The aim of our debates was to re-examine a facet of the history of botanical sciences, which has been often disregarded by historians of science during the last decades, with the exception of the outstanding studies of Leonard K. Nash (1957), François Delaporte (1982) and Ursula Klein and W. Lefèvre (2007). This volume presents a collection of papers by authors from several countries with different cultural background. They follow up from different viewpoints the aim to study the rise, the development, and the role of experimentation in plant sciences which became a basic method in the modern natural sciences and likewise in botany.
