Odpowiedź Kazimierza Karasiewicza na ankietę etnobotaniczną Józefa Rostafińskiego ogłoszoną w 1883 r. dotycząca okolic miejscowości Lwówek, Opalenica i Nowy Tomyśl

Abstrakt

In 1883, Józef Rostafinski (1850-1928), a botanist and professor at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (then Austria-Hungary), produced a survey regarding the name and use of plants in the former Polish territories, which was printed in around 60 newspapers. The most complete version of the questionnaire contained questions regarding approximately 130 species. One of the responses, by Kazimierz Karasiewicz (1862-1926), is published. It concerns an area near Poznań (mainly Lwówek, also Opalenica and Nowy Tomyśl). When Karasiewicz responded to the questionnaire, he was a medicine student. Then, later (1888-1923) he lived in Tuchola (a small town north of Bydgoszcz).
