  Arboretum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commenting on Loddiges' famous Hackney Botanic Garden arboretum, begun in 1816, and opened free to the public for educational benefit every Sunday, Loudon wrote: The arboretum looks better this season than it has ever done since it was planted...
A plan of Loddiges' arboretum was included in The Encyclopaedia of Gardening, 1834 edition.
Leaves from Loddiges' arboretum and in some instances entire trees, were studiously drawn to illustrate Loudon's encyclopaedic book Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum published in 1838, which also incorporated drawings from other early botanic gardens and parklands throughout the UK.

 Gloxinias at the heart of valentine sentiment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
It all started in 1784 when Charles Louis l'Hertier de Brutelle, a French botanist, was given a “true” gloxinia — Sinningia speciosa — and named it as a compliment to a physician and botanical writer named Benjamin Peter Gloxin.
By 1817, Conrad Loddiges, a British nurseryman at Hackney, near London, published an illustration of a plant that had just come into cultivation.
He called it Gloxinia speciosa when, in fact, the plant he illustrated was not a species of gloxinia at all, but a member of the genus Sinningia.
