OdluËio je znanstvenim radom razotkriti bar dio njegova bogatstva. Neposredno prije HaraËiÊevih botaniËkih istraæivanja, Loπinj je bio cilj samo povremenih putovanja ili izleta nekolicine stranih istraæivaËa pa je poznavanje njegove flore bilo djelomiËno i nepotpuno. Ipak, to se uskoro promijenilo. Mjesta iz kojih dolaze botaniËari, zaljubljenici u svoj kraj, su mjesta koja se mogu podiËiti najkvalitetnijim i najiscrpnijim floristiËkim prikazima. Loπinj je imao sreÊu. HaraËiÊ je istraæivao vegetaciju sistematiËno, precizno i temeljito. Marljivo je biljeæio svoja opaæanja, a jednu biljeænicu ispunio je veÊ za vrijeme studija, kada je na rodnom otoku provodio PO»ETAK HARA»I∆EVIH ljetne praznike. Godine 1890. BOTANI»KIH ISTRAÆIVANJA objavio je prvi, a sljedeÊe Ambroz HaraËiÊ (1855.godine i drugi dio svojega 1916.), roen je u Malom rada „Sulla vegetacione Loπinju, a u Grazu i BeËu se dell´isola di Lussin“.

HERBARIUM CROATICUM Sastavni dio PrirodoslovnomatematiËkog fakulteta u Zagrebu, Herbarium Croaticum, nalazi se u prostorijama BotaniËkog zavoda na MaruliÊevom trgu. Na drugom katu tog impresivnog zdanja smjeπtena je zbirka koju su joπ u vrijeme preporoda utemeljili pioniri hrvatske botanike: VukotinoviÊ, Hirc, Schlosser, Rossi i drugi. U zbirci koja broji viπe od pola milijuna primjeraka, posebno mjesto zauzimaju i herbarijski listovi maloloπinjskog prirodoslovca, znanstvenika i profesora Ambroza HaraËiÊa. U studenom 2007. godine, Mladi povjesniËari Srednje πkole Ambroza HaraËiÊa posjetili su BotaniËki zavod. Bogatstvo i vrijednosti HaraËiÊevog rada pokazao nam je dr.sc. Miπko Plazibat, Ëuvar Hrvatskog herbarija. NARODNA BOTANI»KA NOMENKLATURA Tijekom istraæivanja, HaraËiÊ je biljeæio narodna imena biljaka pa je 1894. godine u Glasniku Hrvatskog naravoslovnog druπtva objavio svoj “Prilog za narodnu botaniËku nomenklaturu”. U to vrijeme Austrijanci su izraivali prve topografske karte naπih krajeva. Na njihovim zemljovidima ne nalazimo veÊinu toponima koje je HaraËiÊ skupio iz naroda ili katastra kojeg je pomno prouËavao. Zato mu treba odati joπ jedno priznanje, da je prvi popisao veÊinu naπih biljaka te tako saËuvao i spasio domaÊe jeziËno blago za buduÊe naraπtaje. Imena lokaliteta spominje u svojim radovima i na etiketama svog herbarija, a narodna imena biljaka koristi i u kasnijim djelima. Morao je pisati na talijanskom jeziku, no Ëesto je dodavao i hrvatske nazive uz koje bi dopisao „in lingua nostrana“. VI©E OD TRI DESETLJE∆A RADA U PRIRODI Najstariji herbarijski list iz HaraËiÊeve zbirke biljeæi godinu 1883., a u naredna tri desetljeÊa njegov herbarij je narastao na oko 4000 listova. To je najveÊa zbirka flore koja je ikad skupljena na nekom od jadranskih otoka. Osim na Loπinju, biljke je nalazio i na susjednom Cresu. Na njegovim herbarijskim etiketama uoËavamo i nazive okolnih otoka i otoËiÊa: Unija, Suska, Svetog Petra, Velih Srakana - sveukupno 209 razliËitih lokaliteta. HaraËiÊ nije zaobiπao niti jedan kutak otoka, popeo se na svaki breæuljak, zavirio u svaku morsku uvalu, obiπao svaki kamenjar, paπnjak ili livadu. Brojna su svjedoËanstva njegovih suvremenika o njegovim izletima s kojih bi se redovito vraÊao s prepunom torbicom. ZaËueni bi mu postavljali pitanja, a on je oduπevljeno tumaËio koje je primjerke pronaπao na morskoj obali, a koje na stijenama, u makiji ili u πumi. Izlete bi Ëesto organizirao i s acima, pa bi ih poveo na planinarenje na OsorπÊicu ili u obilazak Nerezina. Nerijetko bi mu koji vredniji primjerak donio i neki od njegovih uËenika, a HaraËiÊ bi njegovo ime zapisao na herbarijskoj etiketi. ENDEMSKE BILJNE VRSTE U Hrvatskom herbariju imali smo priliku vidjeti stotinjak herbarijskih listova s biljkama kao πto su: pjeπËarski mak s Poljane, jednobodljikasta ostika s »ikata, preslica s Unija, gospin vlasak s Valdarki, jesenski gorocvijet s Koludarca, visibabe s Halmaca, ljubice s Boccafalse ... No, to je tek mali dio njegovog biljnog blaga. Posebno mjesto u zbirci zauzimaju endemski primjerci biljaka. HaraËiÊ je na otoku uoËio posebnu vrstu paprati, Phyllitis hybrida (Scolopendrium hybridum), za koju su botaniËari tog vremena vjerovali da je izumrla. Sabrao je znaËajnu zbirku komparativnog materijala kako bi dokazao endemiËnost te vrste. To je u ono vrijeme pobudilo izuzetan interes u krugovina austrijskih Primjerak luka (pasduh) za kojeg je HaraËiÊ uoËio da se po svojim karakteristikama cvijeta i praπnika razlikuje od tipiËnog oblika te vrste, pa ga je nazvao Allium ampeloprasum var. lussinense [Hrvatski herbarij BotaniËkog zavoda PMF-a u Zagrebu]. A specimen of onion discovered by HaraËiÊ. He had noted that its flower and stamen were different from a typical shape of that species, and he gave it the name “Allium ampeloprasum var. lussinense” [Croatian Herbarium of Department of Botany at the Faculty of Science, Zagreb University]. botaniËara. Vidjeli smo tu zaista bogatu kolekciju paprati, koju u naπim krajevima zovu jelenak. Na dvadesetak herbarijskih listova uoËavamo zapisane natuknice. HaraËiÊ je vodio biljeπke opisujuÊi specifiËnosti svakog dijela biljke, kao na primjer: list sa dva reænja ili jeziËasta forma lista. Paprat je skupljao tijekom cijele godine i na razliËitim mjestima. Na etiketama prepoznajemo imena lokaliteta, kao πto su: Privlaka, Kalvarija, Poljana, Valdarke, Velopin, Slatina, Vela Straæa, »ikat, Rovenska, Javorna i Draæica. Uz ime lokaliteta dopisane su i znaËajke terena: na vrhu ili ispod breæuljka, iznad uspona, uz stari zid, na crvenoj zemlji. Svoja zapaæanja o rijetkoj paprati HaraËiÊ je objavio 1893. godine u znanstvenom Ëasopisu Zoologischbotanischen Gesellschaft, koji je izlazio u BeËu. U istom Ëasopisu nalazimo i Ëlanak o posebnoj vrsti luka Allium ampeloprasum. Opazio ga je na otoku i primijetio da se po svojim karakteristikama cvijeta i praπnika razlikuje od tipiËnog oblika te vrste, pa ga je nazvao rasprostranjenost biljnog svijeta, drugi klimu Loπinja i njezin odnos prema vegetaciji, a u treÊem se nalazi sistematski popis flore.

Therefore, HaraËiÊ decided to scientifically explore the island and reveal its botanical diversity to the world. In the period that preceded HaraËiÊ’s botanical research, Loπinj had been the target of only a few sporadic trips undertaken by foreign researchers. As a result, the knowledge of the island’s flora was partial and incomplete. This was soon to change. The places with the most complete and valid scientific botanical data are generally the birthplaces of botanists who were infatuated with their homeland. Loπinj was lucky to have HaraËiÊ. He explored its vegetation in a systematic, precise, and thorough manner by diligently recording every observation. Already as BEGINNINGS OF HARACIC’S a student he had filled one BOTANICAL RESEARCH Ambroz HaraËiÊ (1855 - notebook during his summer 1916) was born in Mali Loπinj vacations. In 1890, HaraËiÊ on the island of Loπinj but his published the first part, and the following year the second studies in Graz and Vienna part of his work “Sulla determined his vocation in vegetazione dell’isola di life. It was there that he studied “the natural sciences”, Lussin” (The Vegetation of at that time called “applied the Island of Loπinj). In the philosophy”. In 1879 he got first part, he presented THE CROATIAN HERBARIUM belongs to the Faculty of Science of the University of Zagreb. It is on display on the second floor of the imposing Department of Botany building on MaruliÊ square. The compilation of the herbarium was started during the Croatian national revival (1835-1849) by pioneers of botanical science in Croatia such as VukotinoviÊ, Hirc, Schlosser, and Rossi. In the collection that consists of half a million specimens, the herbarium pages compiled by a botanist, scientist, and teacher, Ambroz HaraËiÊ, from Mali Loπinj hold a special place. In November of 2007, the group “Young Historians” from Mali Loπinj High School visited the Department of Botany in Zagreb. There, Ph.D. Miπko Plazibat, custodian of the Croatian Herbarium presented the voluminous and important work of HaraËiÊ. TreÊi i Ëetvrti nastavak HaraËiÊevog rada “Sulla vegetazione dell´isola di Lussin“. Third and fourth part of HaraËiÊ’s work “Sulla vegetazione dell´isola di Lussin“. language heritage for future generations. He mentions the names of places on the labels in his herbarium, and he also uses popular names of plants in his later works. He had to write in the Italian language, but he often added Croatian names with the comment “in lingua nostrana” (in our language). geographical characteristics of the island and the distribution of its vegetation. While searching for plants he was also doing meteorological observations, so in the second part he explained the influence of the climate on the vegetation. MORE THAN THREE DECADES OF EXPLORING NATURE POPULAR BOTANICAL The first page of the NOMENCLATURE HaraËiÊ’s herbarium dates from In the course of his research 1883. In the following three HaraËiÊ had been recording decades the herbarium popular names of the plants expanded to 4000 pages, and and so in 1894 he published came to represent the largest his “Contribution to Popular compilation of flora collected Botanical Nomenclature” in on an Adriatic island. In Croatian Naturalistic Newsletter. addition to Loπinj, HaraËiÊ At that time, Austrians picked up plants on the made the first topographic adjacent island of Cres. The maps of our country, but they labels in his herbarium list the did not show most toponyms names of smaller islands that HaraËiÊ had discovered surrounding Loπinj: Unije, through talking to people or Susak, Sveti Petar, Velike searching the town records. Srakane - 209 different Therefore, HaraËiÊ should be locations in all. recognized, not only for During his exploration of recording the majority of the Loπinj, HaraËiÊ searched the island’s plants, but also for most remote places on the preserving and saving our island, climbed every hill, looked at every cove, crossed every stretch of rocky ground, pasture and meadow. His contemporaries who witnessed his trips reported that he would regularly come back with a bagful of plants. In wonder, they would ask questions and HaraËiÊ would enthusiastically explain which specimen he had found on the shore, and which he had found on the rocks, in the underbrush or in the forest. Frequently, HaraËiÊ organized his field trips with his students, taking them to climb mount OsorπÊica or stroll around the small coastal village of Nerezine. Jedan od primjeraka paprati Scolopendrium hybridum iz HaraËiÊeve herbarske zbirke pohranjene u Hrvatskom herbariju BotaniËkog zavoda PMF-a u Zagrebu. A specimen of fern, Scolopendrium hybridum. The HaraËiÊ's collection from the Croatian herbarium of Department of Botany at the Faculty of Science, Zagreb University. When a student of his found a rare specimen, HaraËiÊ would record his name on the herbarium label. ENDEMIC PLANTS In the Croatian Herbarium, we saw approximately a hundred of pages of plants. We will mention here only a few from HaraËiÊ’s rich collection: prickly poppy (Papaver argemone) found in the bay of Poljane; one awned aegilops (Aegilops uniaristata Vis.) found in the bay of »ikat; horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.) from the island of Unije; maidenhair Spektakularna loπinjska veslaËka regata odræana 1894. godine (snimio Ambroz HaraËiÊ). / Spectacular rowing boat race held in the port of Mali Loπinj in 1984 (photographed by Ambroz HaraËiÊ). fern (Adijantum capilleus veneris L.) from the bay of Valdarke; blooddrops ( Adonis Annua L.) from the atoll of Koludarac; snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) from the location of Halmac; and violet (Viola) from the bay of Boccafalsa. The endemic species hold a special place in the HarËiÊ’s collection. On the island of Loπinj, HaraËiÊ discovered a particular species of fern, Phyllitis hybrida (Scolopendrium hybridum), that was believed to be extinct. He collected a considerable amount of comparative data to prove that Phyllitis hybrida was an endemic plant. At that time, this discovery aroused the attention of Austrian botanists. In the Croatian herbarium we admired the breadth of HaraËiÊ’s fern collection known in our region as hart’s tongue. It includes twenty pages of comments. HaraËiÊ took notes describing the particular features of each part of the plant, such as the two lobes or the tongue-shaped leaf. He had collected the fern over the whole year from different locations. On the labels, we recognize the names of locations on the island of Loπinj such as: Privlaka, Kalvarija, Poljana, Valdarke, Velopin, Slatina, Vela Straæa, Rovenska, Javorna, Draæica. Next to the names of locations, there are descriptions of the terrain where the fern was found: on the top of the hill, over the hill, next to the old wall, in the red soil. HaraËiÊ published his scientific research of this rare fern in the scientific journal Zoologisch- botanischen Gesellschaft, printed in Vienna. In the same journal, HaraËiÊ published an article related to a particular species of onion he had discovered on the island of Loπinj. He had noted that its flower and stamen were different from a typical shape of that species, and he gave it the name “Allium ampeloprasum var. lussinense”. In the Croatian herbarium, HaraËiÊ’s descriptions of rare and interesting species are more detailed than other more common species. For example, he gave a detail description of the sea bitter cress (Cardamine maritima). “THE ISLAND OF LOπINJ: ITS CLIMATE AND VEGETATION” In 1905, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Nautical School in Loπinj and his 50th birthday, HaraËiÊ published his lifelong scientific research in the book “L'isola di Lussin. Il suo clima e la sua vegetazione”. This book represents the culmination of his scientific research in botany and consists of the description of 1018 specific species that HaraËiÊ had identified on the Loπinj island. The book is divided into three chapters: the first describes the island and flora of Loπinj; the second describes the climate of Loπinj and its impact on vegetation; and the third part lists the nomenclature of the island’s flora. The third chapter is the biggest part of the book. In 150 pages, HaraËiÊ meticulously described the habitats of plants, their locations, the time of their blooming, their distribution, and their other characteristics. In addition to the Latin names of plants, HaraËiÊ also added their popular names. THE DESTINY OF THE HERBARIUM Professor HaraËiÊ continued his research even after he had retired. Tireless until the end of his life, he collected his last specimens in 1914, in the wake of the World War I. After the collapse of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy and the establishment of a new Italian government that did not care for any Croatian legacy, HaraËiÊ’s herbarium fell into obscurity. All botanical work in Loπinj ended, and his herbarium was forgotten. Only in 1920 did Dinko KozuliÊ, MD, the husband of HaraËiÊ’s adopted daughter rescue it and finally moved it to Zagreb. SCIENCIA AMATA Sciencia amata - that is how botany was called. No wonder, since that “lovely science” offers so many opportunities for field trips in the fresh air, strolls across the woods and blooming meadows. Leaving to us his herbarium, HaraËiÊ gives us a lesson in love of one’s homeland. Looking at the amount of the data collected in the Croatian herbarium, as well as HaraËiÊ’s art in pressing plants, his systematic approach in collecting flora, and his accuracy in recording data, we can rest assured that nobody has surpassed him in his devotion to work nor in his love for nature and his native Loπinj.
