The Iași Botanical Garden, now named after its founder, Anastasie Fătu ((ルーマニア語、モルドバ語():Grădina Botanică "Anastasie Fătu")), is a botanical garden located at the Copou neighbourhood of Iași, Romania. Established in 1856 and maintained by the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, it is the oldest and largest botanical garden in Romania. ==History== The Iași Botanical Garden was founded in 1856 by Anastasie Fătu on terrain bought with his own funds in the immediate vicinity of Râpa Galbenă. Stimulated by interest expressed in Anastasie Fatu's garden, the Physicians and Naturalists Society founded, in 1873, a second Botanical Garden, near the residence of this society, currently the Natural History Museum. In 1870, the leadership of the University of Iași took into consideration the problem of organizing its own botanical garden, on a terrain situated behind the old building of the University which is now the Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy. In 1900, after five years of pleading from professor Alexandru Popovici, the University asked for land near the Palace of Culture to organize a new botanical garden there. Repeated attempts to obtain the necessary funding to realize this garden proved fruitless. In 1921, Alexandru Popovici organized a new botanical garden on terrain situated at the back of the new University building. This garden served the botanical education over 40 years, until 1964, when it was eventually moved to its current location in Copou, under the supervision of professor Emilian Ţopa. The Iaşi Botanical Garden is currently involved in the ex site conservation of 85 species included in the Red Book of the vascular plants from Romania and in the International Conventions. It is also in partnership with some in site conservation programs developed for some plants species from the Carpathian Mountains and the Danube Delta.〔 The Botanical Garden co-operates with partners from Romania and abroad. Since 2009 it is a member of the International Plant Exchange Network.〔 ==Grounds== The Garden spans over 80 hectares of land and is divided into 12 areas. * ''The Systematic Section'', meant for pupils and students, on a area, with 700 herbaceous and lignaceous taxa are cultivated and distributed according to their natural similarities in divisions, orders and families; * ''The Romanian Flora and Vegetation Section'' is the largest section with a area, and is divided in six geographical sub-sections: Moldova, Transylvania, Banat, Muntenia, Oltenia, Dobrogea, representing, on the vertical, the main types and zones of vegetation from Romania and, on the horizontal, the flora and vegetation of each Romanian historical province; * ''The Ornamental Section'', covering a area in open air, plus in the greenhouses complex and solariums, designed both for the culture of the species requesting warmed spaces and the culture of certain exotic species, has a subsection for the blind persons; * ''The Dendrologic Section'', situated on a versant presenting western general exposition, on area, with collections of trees and shrubs which have been grouped together taking into account the genera that are including the respective species and also the ecological requests of the plants; * ''The World Flora Section'', a general image of the flora from different geographic regions of the Earth, with plants cultivated on , and grouped taking into account their origin and distributed according to the natural and mixed landscape architecture styles; * ''The Biologic Section'', presents, on an area of , aspects of the vegetal world organisation, aspects of plants evolution and adaptation to the environmental conditions and the role of humans in the directing of the evolutive process in spirit of nature conservation and environment preservation; * ''The Useful Plants Section'', is divided in nine subsections, and presents approximately of valuable plants species used or probably to be used in pharmaceutical, alimentary, cellulose and paper industry or textile industry; * ''The Greenhouses Complex Section'', on about , includes 12 greenhouses, which shelter plants collections (approximate 2600 taxa) native especially of sub-tropical, tropical and equatorial zones of the globe, from all the continents; * ''The Rosary Section'' (the rose–garden), on , groups together approximately 600 roses varieties, distributed in horticultural groups, taking into account their proportions, forms and colours; * ''The Memorial Plants Section'', on , presents a series of plants related to important events of the human existence (the birth, the marriage and the death), a series of species related to some national personalities, to the life of the heroes from Romanian people, species presenting names inspired by various deities that, in the ancient Indo-European mythologies could have had an important role in the appearance, development and evolution of human society; * ''The Recreative Section'', with an approximately area, offers to visitor's sight the relaxing scenery of the vineyards and the orchards situated on the neighbouring hills; * ''The Experimental Section'', includes four sub-sections and represents, on , a laboratory where students do practical work and scientific research. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iași Botanical Garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
