D’Agata, Costanza Dal Cin | Rhizopoulou, Sophia
Cretan endemic and native Greek plants quoted in Italian archives, were being cultivated in botanic gardens from 15th to 17th century, when Crete was then under Venetian rule. A list that includes endemic, herbaceous, medicinal and aromatic plants, geophytes and ornamentals is presented. Conception of this influx of plants into renaissance botanic gardens and information about a rarely presented network of botanical exchange reveal regional and rational aspects of historical botany.
