Type: article
Abstract: This study focuses on the Swedish botanist and algologist Carl Adolph Agardh (1785–1859), professor at the University in Lund (1812–1835) and bishop in Karlstad (from 1835). The author outlines the development of his scientific interests and analyses his scientific connections with the Czech Lands, with special attention paid to the album amicorum which Agardh kept in 1810–1829. Based on this album and other sources, the study reconstructs Agardh’s expedition to Central Europe and northern Italy undertaken in the spring and summer of 1827. Detailed attention is paid to his stay in the Bohemia (Prague and Carlsbad) and to Bohemical entries added to his album during the journey.
