Abstract

U ovom radu prikazan je život i djelovanje Frana Kušana (1902. – 1972.). Rođen je u selu Vučja Luka kod Sarajeva. Godine 1924. upisao je Filozofski fakultet u Zagrebu, a doktorsku disertaciju brani 1928. godine. Na Filozofskom fakultetu postaje izvanrednim profesorom Farmaceutske botanike (1940.) a ponovnim osnivanjem samostalnog Farmaceutskog fakulteta (1945.) prvim redovnim profesorom Farmaceutske botanike i predstojnikom Zavoda za farmaceutsku botaniku, čiju dužnost obnaša sve do svoje smrti (1972.). Zaslužan je za utemeljenje tri botanička vrta na području Hrvatske: botaničkog vrta na Medvednici (1938.), botaničkog vrta Farmaceutskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (1947.), jedinog botaničkog vrta ljekovitog i otrovnog bilja u ovom dijelu Europe, te Velebitskog botaničkog vrta (1967.). Fran Kušan je sa svojim suradnicima skupljao i izradio herbarijsku zbirku biljaka i lišajeva. Herbarij se danas nalazi u botaničkom vrtu Farmaceutsko-biokemijskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu koji
nosi njegovo ime: Farmaceutski botanički vrt „Fran Kušan“. Profesor Fran Kušan objavio je više knjiga iz područja farmaceutske botanike. Objavio je veći broj znanstvenih radova, vezanih posebno za istraživanje lišajeva, te brojne stručne i popularne članke u raznim časopisima.
