Neben Biographien der beiden an der Entstehung der Handschrift beteiligten Studenten wurde auch der Lebensweg Willdenows nachgezeichnet, um dessen Leistungen als botanischer Wissenschaftler und somit letztendlich auch seine in die Handschrift eingeflossenen Erkenntnisse einschätzen zu können.
Included to biographical sketches of the two students involved in the creation of the subject manuscript, also the life of Willdenow is described, which is necessary not only to properly assess his achievements in the field of botany, but also to demonstrate how his ideas are woven into the text of the manuscript.
In order to accurately evaluate the contents of the manuscript, background information concerning the development of botanical research and the state of knowledge in that era is presented in the form of a historical survey of botany from the 16th century on.

 BGBM: Library of the BGBM – History
In a similar way a library next to the garden and herbarium was indispensable for the comparison of the life plants and herbarium specimens with material described in the literature.
The estate of Link's predecessor Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812) formed the basis for herbarium and library.
The acquisition of Willdenow's scientifically invaluable personel herbarium and library was made possible "by cabinet order of 19 November 1818" as proposed by the minister Karl Freiherr vom Stein zum Altenstein.

 Scotsman.com News - Scotland - Christmas in a pot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
"That's the interesting question." And it turns out that an even earlier specimen had been sent to Berlin botanic garden and its curator, Carl Ludwig Willdenow, whose herbarium was one of the most important in the world at that time.
Back in Edinburgh, in 1836 (same year as that other US-Mexican exchange, known as the Alamo), Graham was aware that the Berlin specimen had been so named, but didn't realise that the name had been published.
These days, botanists consider that Willdenow was right and, scientifically, his name Eurphorbia pulcherrima is taken as the correct one.

 05.05.01: The Impacts of Human Activities on Biodiversity in New Haven County
Many plants were originally study for medicinal purposes, which lead to a number of collections of plants that not only described their physical appearance but they also described their possible use.
Plant geographers, naturalists and botanists, such as Carl Ludwig Willdenow, Friederich Heinrich Alexander Humboldt and Aime Bonpland became interested in finding the explanation to the variety or biodiversity among plants (Smith 1996).
This interest captured their desire to travel and compare the differences and similarities among plants in different regions of the world.
