Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores observations and descriptions of new lichens and fungi collected in Otago, New Zealand, by Dr Lauder Lindsay in 1861. Not previously explored botanically, Dr Lindsay made many important collections. Of note were the approximately 20% of new lichen species, and a significant 40% of new fungi species, that were discovered. The author conducted an in-depth microscopic analysis of the reproductive organs and contents of the new species, presenting his findings in this book. Dr Lauder Lindsay suggests that, without access to large botanical collections and extensive botanical literature from major European cities, a botanist cannot accurately distinguish new species from those already known in the plant world. These distinctions are vital, as collectors often name and describe new species without possessing the necessary knowledge and background to accurately determine if those species are indeed new. Such avoidable additions to synonyms and confusion of species impede scientific progress. The author emphasizes that systematic and descriptive botany are restricted to naturalists in London or Paris, or similar well-equipped centers of knowledge, effectively excluding provincial botanists who lack access to these resources.
