Abstract

Abstract Figueiredo, E. & G.F. Smith (2021). Joaquim José da Silva (c. 1755–1810): his life, natural history collecting activities, and involvement in the so-called first scientific expedition in the interior of Angola. Candollea 76: 125–138. In English, English abstract. The Portuguese naturalist Joaquim José da Silva (c. 1755–1810) was sent to Angola in the late 18th century to collect natural history specimens, as part of the “viagens philosophicas”, a series of expeditions funded by the Portuguese state to its overseas territories. Silva arrived in Angola in 1783 and remained in the country until his death 27 years later. An account of Silva's life and activities is provided. His travel itineraries in Angola are mapped and a list of his collections that could be located is presented. The little-known expedition to the Cunene River in which he participated is discussed. It was the first expedition to the interior of Angola during which plants were collected for deposition in a herbarium. His plant collections are recorded in the literature as numbering over 200 specimens that are held in the Herbarium of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris (P), after they were removed from Lisbon, Portugal, by Étienne Geoffroy St. Hilaire (1772–1844) during the Napoleonic War, in 1808. The Silva collections served as original material for describing at least 24 names. However, the Silva specimens at P lack collector's name and date and are difficult to trace. Only about 20% of these collections have been located in P. Received: January 15, 2021; Accepted: February 10, 2021; First published online: May 20, 2021

若阿金·若泽·达席尔瓦(约1755-1810):他的生平、自然史收集活动以及参与所谓的安哥拉内陆第一次科学考察
Figueiredo, E. & G.F. Smith(2021)。Joaquim joss da Silva(约1755-1810):他的生平、博物学收集活动,并参与所谓的安哥拉内陆第一次科学考察。烛台76:125-138。英文,英文摘要。葡萄牙博物学家Joaquim jos da Silva(约1755-1810年)在18世纪末被派往安哥拉收集自然历史标本,这是“viagens philosophicas”的一部分,这是由葡萄牙国家资助的一系列海外探险活动。席尔瓦于1783年抵达安哥拉,并一直留在该国,直到27年后去世。书中记述了席尔瓦的生平和活动。他在安哥拉的旅行路线被绘制出来,并列出了他的收藏清单。书中讨论了他参加的鲜为人知的库内河探险。这是第一次到安哥拉内陆的考察,在此期间,植物被收集起来存放在植物标本室。据文献记载,1808年拿破仑战争期间,他的植物标本由Étienne从葡萄牙里斯本运来,目前保存在巴黎国立自然历史博物馆的植物标本室中,数量超过200个。席尔瓦的藏品是描述至少24个名字的原始材料。然而,P的Silva标本缺乏收集者的姓名和日期,难以追踪。这些藏品中只有大约20%位于p区。录用日期:2021年2月10日;首次在线发布:2021年5月20日

期刊介绍: Candollea is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes original scientific papers, preferably in English but also in French. Spanish language manuscripts will be evaluated only if linked to scientific projects involving the Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de Genève. Successful submissions will be in the fields of evolution, molecular systematics, morphology-anatomy, nomenclature, taxonomy, or vegetation analyses of plants. Reviews and articles on the history of botanical collections are welcome. New distribution records lacking pertinent analyses will not be considered. Manuscripts dealing with nomenclature alone will be considered only if clearly related to the Geneva library or herbarium (G). Authors are encouraged to deposit duplicates of their material, especially nomenclatural types, at G.
