¶ "The Swedish physiscian and botanist Anders Regnell graduated in 1837 and left Sweden for Brazil in 1840 because he suffered from weak health due to haemorrhage of the lungs. Evidently, he recovered somewhat already during the voyage to South America, and after passing an exam at the Faculty of Medicine in Rio de Janeiro, he started off to the small village of Caldas in the province of Minas Geraes, 1200 meters above sea level, where he lived until his death in 1884. Thanks to his solid education and clinical experience, Regnell soon had a lucrative practice. He acquired real estate and coffee plantations, and increased his fortune.
With inexhaustible eagerness, Regnell collected plants, and he expanded his house to create more room for his herbarium. Large parts of his collections were examined for Martius' Flora Brasiliensis.
Regnell was a recluse and a bachelor, but several people lived for long periods as his guest at Caldas. Many were visiting botanists who made large and important collections that were deposited in the Regnellian herbarium. Apart from a large number of species, three genera have been named in his honour, viz. Regnellia (Orchidaceae), Neoregnellia (Sterculiaceae), and Regnellidium (Marsiliaceae).
Regnell planned a "Brazilian Institution" and the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm was intended as the location for this (now the Regnellian Herbariun). He procured financial means for a continuous curation of the collections and for making field trips to collect more material. Regnells donations to botany is administered by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, but he was also a benefactor of Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. His aim was to support biological and medical research"(Arne Anderberg, www.nrm.se).
