Planinskog botaničkog vrta na Medvednici (1939.), Botaničkog vrta ljekovitog i otrovnog bilja (1946.) i Velebitskog
botaničkog vrta (1967.).
Godine 1924. je upisao Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, a doktorsku disertaciju na temu ˝Predradnje

radu. Godine 1969. je stavljen pod posebnu zaštitu kao „Spomenik prirode (spomenik vrtne arhitekture

Department of pharmaceutical botany (1945) he was appointed head of the Department, where he remained until his

The garden is part of the Department of pharmaceutical botany and represents a central institute for research of
medicinal herbs. It is located in the northern part of Zagreb, at Schrottova street 39 / Alagovićeva street 43. It contains
about 1000 plant species, of which 650 are medicinal and / or poisonous species. The activity of the Garden is directed
