Preserved specimen of Acacia implexa Benth. (Black Wattle), from the National Herbarium of New South Wales. It was cultivated by Maarten Buysman in Indonesia.

Maarten Buysman, also spelt Buijsman (1856 –1919), was a Dutch botanist, known for growing, cultivating, and selling plants from across Europe, the Americas, and Indonesia.[1][2] He also introduced a significant number of plants from the Americas and Europe to East Java.

Botanical career

Buysman founded a botanical garden in the Dutch city of Middelburg, called the Hortus Plantarum Diaphoricarum or, in English, the Garden of Diverse Plants.[3] This garden was run as a business, rather than as a tourist attraction. Buysman cultivated and sold plant specimens grown in the garden, under the title Herbarium Analyticum.[3] To acquire plants which he then cultivated and went on to sell, Buysman relied on an international network of collectors from whom he received plant material from around the globe.[4][5]

In 1906-1907, Buysman moved to the colonial Dutch East Indies, where he was employed at the Hotel Nongkodjadjar in the Pasaruan Regency.[4] There, he set up an experimental garden, and continued to cultivate plants he received from foreign collectors.[3] According to the Office of Seed and Plant Introduction, Buysman focused on introducing plants to Indonesia,[6] and appears to have introduced some foreign species to Indonesia, such as Cecropia pachystachya, Salvia tiliifolia, Cenchrus tribuloides, Elymus repens, Bromus sterilis, and Bromus erectus, although not all of these species have persisted.[4][3][7][8][9] Backer also ascribed the presence of non-native plants when he visited Nongkodjadjar in 1925, such as Salvia tiliifolia, Calyptocarpus vialis, Melampodium perfoliatum, and Marsypianthes chamaedrys to Buysman's acclimation activities.[3] He continued to exchange seed with other collectors, as well as selling plants to overseas buyers.[10] He issued at least one catalogue of the plants available from the Nongkodjadjar garden in 1916.[11][12]

Although Buysman never named any plant species himself, he collected the holotypes of Crepidium tenggerense (J.J.Sm.) M.A.Clem. & D.L.Jones,[13] Hoya tenggerensis Bakh.f.,[14][15] Pogostemon hortensis Backer ex Adelb.,[16][17] and Pseudophegopteris tenggerensis Holttum,[18][19]

While nothing remains of the nursery in Nongkojajar,_Tutur,_Pasuruan [id] today,[20][4][1] botanical specimens collected and distributed by Buysman are held in herbaria across the globe, including the National Herbarium of Victoria,[21][5] the National Herbarium of New South Wales,[21] the Herbarium of the University of Coimbra,[22] Harvard University Herbaria,[23] Brown University herbarium,[24] the Natural History Museum, London,[25] and the herbarium at Kew Gardens.[26]

Etymological legacy

Along with better-known botanical interests, he observed[27] and collected insects, particularly wasps, around Lawang.[28][29] Evelyn Cheesman examined a parasitic wasp collected by Buysman, and named the genus Buysmania in his honour.[30]
