Australian Orchids
Manage episode 304078364 series 2881817
The first of a three-part mini-series on the 19th century publication Australian Orchids that put our native varieties of Orchidaceae on the international stage. This episode Sally Stewart, Library at the Royal Botanic Gardens (Melbourne), and Peter Weston, Honorary Research Associate at the National Herbarium of NSW (New South Wales) help us to explore the life and times of ‘Gentleman Botanist’ R.D. Fitzgerald and how his role as the Deputy General Surveyor for the NSW government supported the making of this collection.
