| CONTENT: | In May 2023, a celebration ceremony occurred in Stibbetorp, Sweden, the birthplace of the Linnaeus apostle Daniel Rolander. A commemoration stone was erected – 300 years after his birth – featuring an inscription recognising his birthplace and the plant Rolandra fruticosa named in his honour, carved in stone. The honorary speakers included the Latinist and translator James Dobreff, who translated Rolander’s travel journal from the 1750s, the Swedish Ambassador to the Caribbean and Suriname Anders Bengtcén, and the Head of The IK Foundation Lars Hansen, who also officially unveiled the commemoration stone. |
