Jarpim BorAnico pa AJUDA 
Ajuda is a suburb about two miles west of Lisbon. After the 
earthquake of 1755 this area was converted into a culinary plant 
garden and fruit orchard and a temporary royal residence for 
King Dom José. After the residence (of wood) was destroyed 
by fire Marqués de Pombal, a philanthropist, had the area laid 
out as a botanic garden (‘‘a living example of botany”). The 
first curator, Domingos Vandelli, was followed by Félix de Avelar 
Brotero. At a later period José Maria Grande, Welwitsch, 
Andrade Corvo, and the Count of Ficalho attempted to revive the 
garden “ but it never again became what it had been under Bro- 
tero.” During the last quarter of the 19th century it became the 
property of the Royal House and was converted into a “ private 
promenade.” Since the proclamation of the Republic it has again 
become a public “ Botanic Garden.” Annexed to it is the Institute 
of Science (Faculdade de Ciéncias). (Fide: Guia de Portugal
