Hartoe, Johan. A collector in charge of the East India 
Company’s Garden in Cape Town, towards the end of the 
17th Century, mentioned by Boerhaave (Index alter, &c.). 
OtpEntanp, Hendrik Bernhard. Iam indebted for the follow- 
ing reference to this old botanist and collector, to my friend, 
Professor MacOwan * :—‘ Francis Valentyn, the historian of 
the Dutch East Indies, in his ‘ Beschrijving van de Kaap 
der Goede Hoop,’ p. 22, says, ‘Ik heb eenen Herbarius vivus 
gezien die de Heer H. B. Oldenland, een fraai Botanicus, 
dien ik als opziender van de Compagnies Tuin hier in ’t jaar 
1695 gekend heb, had bij een gezamelt, en die wel in 13 of 
14 deelen in folio met een zeer fraai beschrijving van yder 
plant in ’t Latyn bestont.’’’ + What became of these volumes ? 
Do they still exist as such? or were the sheets incorporated 
with Burmann’s herbarium? Oldenland was probably the 
collector of the Orchids in the last-named herbarium, and 
on this assumption I have included his name here.

+‘ I have seen here a Herbarius vivus, which Mr. H. B. Oldenland, an excellent 
botanist whom I knew in the year 1695 as superintendent of the Company’s 
Garden, had collected, and which consisted of 13 or 14 folio vols., with a good 
description of each plant in Latin.”
