The world fam- ous Botanical Gardens were established in 1817 by Dr. C. G. L. Reinwardt. When he retired in 1822 there were already 900 thriving plants in the Gardens. The greatest development, however, took place under the regime of Professor Melchior Treub, who not only enlarged them considerably but added also a number of experimental plots. Several labor- atories were called into being, where seeds, soil and fertilizers are tested and analysed. Professor Treub took charge of the Gardens in ...1880 until his final retirement in 1909. The Botanical Gardens of Buitenzorg enjoy among scientists the reputation of being the finest in the world. The collection of orchids is remarkable, there being several hundred varieties present in the open as well as under cover. The Governor General's palace abuts the Gardens and appears to be an integral part of it, which is, however, not the case. This official residence of the Governors General of the Dutch East Indies dates from the year 1745 when the then Governor General van Imhoff was granted a part of the Kampong Baroe, called by him Buitenzorg, on condition that this should remain the official residence of the Governors General in perpetuity.
