Vasculums

Linnaeus called it a vasculum dillenianum, from Latin vasculum – small container and dillenianum, referring to J.J. Dillenius, Linnaeus' friend and colleague at Oxford Botanic Garden. With rise of botany as a scientific field the mid 18th century, the vasculum became an indispensable part of the botanist's equipment.[

David Douglas #151 . . .October 1830 . . . David Douglas, his faithful Scottish terrier, Billy, and assisted by William Johnson, plan to head to North California. . . 

“If I can venture thither my journey in safety by land, I will do so; if not I shall go by sea to Monterey.”

Once again Douglas’s wishes coincided with company business—the vessel Dryad was due to depart soon carrying a load of sawn lumber and salted salmon for sale in California. Douglas planned to spend considerable time collecting there, he assembled a stock of personal items to see him through.

From the Fort Vancouver storeroom, he charged to his account extra shoes, shirt, cloth, cod line, and candles, along with ten pounds of Hyson tea, sixty pounds of loaf sugar, nine gallons of Madeira wine, four silk handkerchiefs, a Jew’s harp, and 150 Spanish dollars. Funding it appears, was not as much of an issue as it had been on his earlier visit.

In late November 1830, the Dryad weighted anchor at the fort and sailed down the Columbia. Douglas and William Johnson set up their instruments, taking observations on Fort George and Cape Disappointment as the ship passed out of the river into the Pacific. The collector did not know how long he would be gone, but he carried a voucher that would provide him with free passage when he was ready to return:

To the Commander of any of

The Honorable HB Coy Vessels

Bound to the Columbia River 

Sir:

You will receive on Board your Vessel Mr.

David Douglas with his Servant and Baggage

Yours truly
