Solander { Micaiah & Nanna

Ink spilled in quiet defiance, as Nanna was stamped to a chair and pen set for the next round. Though she was at leisure, she was at no luxury to heal others nor comb through the camp again for Julius— so, instead, she presumed an alert position, half-notched in case of ambush. Her heart was still pressed against porcelain, waiting out the last of her flashfire frustrations. But it was no matter. She had to make something productive of this all. To preoccupy herself, she began to sprawl a handful of potential strategies that would have served her better on the field. It was better than to be left to her thoughts.

Peering over to the bed beside her, she sent the woman who presided that space with a winning smile. Not a hint of her wrath in those twinkling eyes. "Would you like to join me? It's not as constructive breaking down a battle map alone."

"...My name is Princess Nanna of House Nordion. A pleasure."

"Daniel Solander

Cape Solander is named after Swedish botanist Daniel Solander (1733-1782), who accompanied naturalist and botanist Joseph Banks on HMB Endeavour from 1768-1771.

A Gifted Student

Solander studied under famous botanist, Carl Linnaeus, at Sweden's Uppsala University. Before Solander completed his studies, Linnaeus sent him to London as his representative to work at the British Museum cataloguing the natural history collections, and to promote the Linnaean classification system. This system became the internation standard for the classification of all species and is still used today.

Unfinished Business

In 1768, Joseph Banks invited Solander to join in the scientific staff on HMB Endeavour on its voyage to the South Pacific. Together, Banks and Solander collected approximately 30,000 specimens including around 1,300 species new to Western science. The number of species they collected demonstrated the need for a classification system that could cope with Earth's biodiversity.

On his return to England, Solander became Joseph Bank's secretary and librarian and went on numerous collecting expeditions including to the Isle of Wight, the western highlands of Scotland, Iceland and Wales. He was also appointed keeper of natural history at the British Museum.

Solander died of a stroke in 1782 aged only 49, leaving much of his work incomplete, unpublished or waiting on contributions from others.

A Significant Legacy

Solander made important contributions to botany through his discoveries and his meticulous categorising of the specimens he and Banks collected around the world.

As early proponents of Linnaeus's systematic biology, Bank's and Solander's work here led to Kamay Botany Bay National Park being nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Area. The national park is important both culturally and scientifically in 'The Rise of Systematic Biology' - the study of biological diversity and its origin.

This includes a taxonomic classification system for categorising organisms into related groups."
