Sex, Botany and Empire

Enlightenment-era botany was filled with sexual symbolism, so much so that many botanical texts of the time were regarded as risqué. Carl Linnaeus introduced a controversial classification method for plants, based on their reproductive features, using language replete with erotic undertones. This approach sparked heated discussions about the ethical implications of botanical studies. Joseph Banks's notorious adventures in Tahiti, where he allegedly lost his trousers while in Queen Oberea's tent, further fueled the salacious reputation of botany. Despite these controversies, Linnaeus and Banks emerged as influential figures in both political and scientific spheres, advancing botanical research alongside the colonial exploitation of lands, cultures, and resources. "Sex, Botany, and Empire" delves into the interconnected lives of these two luminaries and examines how their contributions intertwined the realms of science with the expansionist ambitions of their time.
