Note: The origin of the Jardin Botanique of Geneva dates from 
the beginning of the 19th century, and is intimately associated with 
the arrival at Geneva of Augustin-Pyrame de Candolle. He had 
been professor of botany at Montpellier, and the establishment of 
a botanic garden was a tacit condition of his accepting the pro- 
fessorship at Geneva.
