Rio de Janeiro. Botanical Garden lake. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro - Jardim Bot\u00e2nico in Portuguese - was created in 1808. It was one of the first initiatives of the Prince Regent of Portugal, Dom Jo\u00e3o VI. Driven out of Lisbon by Napoleon's troops, he decided to transfer his capital to his distant colony in Brazil. The royal family and the court transformed the small town of Rio into a capital worthy of the name. Mansions and palaces were built, and the sovereign created a garden to acclimatise plant species from other continents, including spices such as nutmeg, pepper and cinnamon. In 1822, his successor, Emperor Dom Pedro I, decided to open the garden to the public. Since then, the garden has grown to become a conservatory and one of the world's leading research centres in the fields of botany and biodiversity conservation. In 1992, UNESCO designated it as a Biosphere Reserve. And in 1999, it became part of the Mata Atl\u00e2ntica Biosphere Reserve. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Fontaine-et-Corcovado_9508-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"Br\u00e9sil.

In fact, we now know that they were brought back by Luiz de Abreu Vieira e Silva from the Pamplemousse Garden in Mauritius and offered to the Prince Regent, who planted the first specimen in 1809. Known as the imperial palm, its spread throughout the country is due to slaves who, in violation of the orders of the director at the time, pilfered its seeds at night and sold them for 100 reis each. The two oldest alleys - C\u00e2ndido Baptista Alley and Barbosa Rodrigues Alley - are made up of specimens of this palm tree, which has become the symbol of Rio de Janeiro's Botanical Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/espace-bambous1030716-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"eBr\u00e9sil.

Its latex is highly toxic and feared by lumberjacks, who prefer to bleed the tree before felling it. Its fruit resembles a small squash and is unique in that it explodes when ripe, hence one of the Anglo-Saxon names for \"squash\".\u00a0<em>Dynamite tree<\/em>\" sometimes attributed to this tree, and the Latin qualifier \"crepitans\".

The reddish underside of the leaf is studded with spines, and adult leaves easily reach 2 m in diameter and can support up to 45 kg. Named Victoria <em>regia <\/em>named in 1838 by the botanist John Lindley in honour of Queen Victoria of England, this giant water lily was discovered in 1801 by Thaddeus Haenke, a Bohemian-born naturalist who took part in several expeditions to Amazonia. But for the Indians, this water lily has another origin: according to a legend of the Tupi-Guarani people, a young girl, taken with the love of the night star, wanted to touch Jaci - the moon. Seeing her reflection on the surface of a pond, the young woman threw herself into the dark waters, thinking she could reach her, and sank into the water. Moved by her plight, Jaci decided to transform her into a majestic water star. And so the world's largest water lily was born. The first specimens to flower at the Botanic Garden were grown from seeds brought from Mato Grosso by the botanist Frederico Carlos Hoehne, around 1910.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taxodium_distichum_et_Cycas_circinalis\"><\/span>Taxodium <em>distichum<\/em> and Cycas <em>circinalis<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Taxodium-Copier-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-14\" data-rl_title=\"Br\u00e9sil Rio de Janeiro.
