Abstract
August Strindberg wrote Jardin des Plantes in 1896 as an attempt to gain recognition as a botanist and chemist. This paper evaluates the scientific relevance of the text, taking into account the status of science at the end of the nineteenth century. A comparison with Œcology of Plants : An Introduction to the Study of Plant Communities, written one year previously by Eugenius Warming (a Danish botanist and major founding figure of the scientific discipline of ecology) shows that Jardin des Plantes is a fairly accurate summary of the state of botany in the late nineteenth century. Strindberg expresses a vision of ecology which is comparable in many aspects to that of Warming, but unlike Warming he is unable to found a new epistemology.
