CAPE TOWN 
Care Town Botanic GARDEN 
Commissioners appointed May 5, 1848, opened a subscription 
list, appointed as gardener a local nurseryman of the name of 
Draper, and laid out and planted an area assigned for their use 
from the Government Gardens. Governmental appropriations 
were meager (£7-10-per month!), and Karl Zeyher, celebrated 
botanical collector, appointed 1849, was dismissed the following 
year. Dr. Berthold Seeman, who visited the Garden in 1851, 
wrote that the Committee had “passed a resolution that their 
Botanic Garden could do without a botanist.” Toward the end 
of 1891, while the Garden was under Professor MacOwan, 
I’.L.S., as Director (1880-1891), Government appropriations be- 
ing wholly inadequate, the Commissioners voted to discontinue the 
garden as a botanical establishment and treat it as ‘‘ merely a town 
pleasaunce of flowers and shady walks.” The change became ef- 
fective Jan. 1, 1892. The Kew Bulletin (Jan. 1892) expressed 
the hope that at some future time a Botanic Garden might be 
established at the Cape under scientific control. See Kirstenbosch.
