L’Obel, Matthias de (1538-1616) 
L’Obel was born in Lille, studied medicine and 
practiced for some time before coming to England, 
where he had charge of a garden at Hackney, under 
patronage of Lord Zouch, thru which many plants 
were introduced to England. His ’’Stirpitim adver¬ 
saria nova**, commonly entered under the name of 
his collaborator Pierre Pena, was published in 
London in 1571 (the title has 1570, but colophon 
reads: Londini, 1571, Calendis Januaries, Excude- 
bat prelum Thomae Purfoetij), and again Antverpi- 
ae, apud Christophorum Plantinum, 1576, together 
with his ’’Plantarum seu stirpium historia". In 
1581 Plantin also published his ’’Plantarum seu 
stirpium icones”. All these books have an inter¬ 
est in connection with gardening, as they include 
many plants lately introduced to cultivation. 
Accounts of L’Obel’s service to gardening and 
botany are given by C. F, A. Morren, ’’Prologue 
consacr^ k la mmoire de Mathias de I’Obel”, in 
Belg, Hort. 2:v-xviii (1852), and by Ed. Morren, 
’’Mathias de I’Obel, sa vie et ses oeuvres”, with 
Bui. Soc. Fed, Hort. Belgique, 1875.
