in 1850, and rebuilt and enlarged in 1894 and 1901. The Botanical 
Institute began in 1891. 
The park, planted about 1850, contains many beautiful speci- 
men trees, including Tavodium distichum, Cryptomeria japonica, 
Ginko biloba, Pinus Laricio, Cedrus atlantica, Thuya Lobbu, 
Quercus Ilex, Q. ruber, Fagus sylvatica, Salix Caproea, Sophora 
japonica, etc. 
The plants are arranged after the order of Hooker. 
A seed list is published annually by the conservator. 
Note: The faculty of medicine was established in 1448, but it 
was not until about 1688 that Prof. Callard de la Ducquerie pur- 
chased a garden which he filled with plants for use in teaching. 
Later the University provided modest funds for maintenance of 
the Garden. The garden called, “ Hortus botanicus agri Codo- 
mensis, contained 559 species, arranged according to their medic- 
inal properties. Marescot succeeded Callard in 1718 (fide per- 
sonal letter from René Viguier). Thanks to the devotion of 
Maréchal de Coigny, additional land was acquired in 1734 and 
actually occupied in 1736.
