Szujkó-Lacza, J.: Botanical legacy of Lajos Haynald (1816-1891) in the Hungarian Natural History Museum

HAYNALD had similar lively connection with E. BOISSER and A DE CANDOLLE from Geneva, both of them were well known botanists all over the world. HAYNALD proposed the election of PARLATORE and BOISSER as members of the Hungarian Academy of Science in 1871 (cf. Mrs. FEKETE 1975). He gave the funeral address over these two botanists after their death (HAYNALD 1879, 1866). HAYNALD spent four years in Rome (1864-67) (cf. ANONYMUS 1891, FRAKNÓI 1894, KŐHALMI-KLIMSTEIN 1889). He visited the antique and Old-Christian memorial places and always returned with plants, e. g. Ruscus aculeatus LINNAEUS. Four branches of the plants were collected at four localities of Rome and were sticked on one sheet. He was two times in the Pyreneans in 1878, 1879, and several times in watering place in Lippik etc. Though the number of botanical publications by HAYNALD is few, he had a botanical library of European fame and was well informed in the literature. When he became a member of the Hungarian Academy the title of his inaugural lecture was "Plants of resins and mastics in the Holy Scripture." The text was printed in 1879 (HAYNALD) and the picture-drawings of SEBOTH in 1894 by the Museum. He described (HAYNALD 1881) a new taxon, Ceratophyllum pentacanthum HAYNALD from his garden in Kalocsa, but the name is not valid today. In honour of HAYNALD, a lot of species of algae, fungi, lichens, pteridophyts and higher plants were dedicated to him (cf. KANITZ 1889). References ANONYMUS (1891): Nekrológok a Magy.Tud.
