cal artist and illustrator Ferdinand Lucas Bauer (1760– 1826), who accompanied microscopist
Robert Brown (1773– 1858) on a journey of exploration to Australia from 1801 to 1805. Bauer
and Brown had been assigned to the expedition led by the English navigator Matthew Flinders
on the sloop Investigator. In 1805, Bauer made drawings illustrating the pollination mechanism
of Asclepias curassavica. In the drawings, Bauer showed pollen tubes on the stigmatic surface
and the entry of the tubes into the stylar canal. However, the results were not published and
are only mentioned in a paper written in 1833 by Robert Brown. Thus, credit for the first pub-
lished description of pollen tubes and a discussion of their significance still belongs to Giovanni
Battista Amici. See Ducker, S. C., and R. B. Knox (1985), Pollen and pollination: a historical

probably confused the suspensor, a large cell that attaches the embryo to the embryo sac, for an
extension of the pollen tube pushing its way into the embryo sac.

- In 1862, Schleiden gave up laboratory research at the University of Jena and moved to
Dresden, where he briefly taught history and philosophy as a private tutor. In 1863, Schleiden
accepted the position of Chair of Anthropology at the University of Dorpat (now the
University of Tartu in Estonia). For the remainder of his life, he published voluminously and
widely on topics in cultural history, as well as producing two books of poetry under the pseud-
onym “Ernst.” Although he was not Jewish, he published two works on Jews and Judaism
that were widely distributed. Among them was the article, “The Importance of Jews for the
Preservation and Revival of Learning During the Middle Ages,” in which he asserted that
without Hebrew there would have been no Reformation. Charpa, Matthias Jakob Schleiden.
