Abstract: General Theory of Systems, sensu strictu, aims to derive the general definition of “system” as a
complex of components in mutual interaction with each other and with the surrounding environment. A theory
to be applied to the Botanic Garden of the University of Coimbra, understood as a Complex Information System:
a whole with several types of units or information systems, such as a living plant collection, library, museum,
archive and herbarium. Júlio Henriques (director between 1873-1918) participated in networks of scientific
knowledge and his role is crucial to understand the growth and complexification of the Information System
Botanic Garden UC. An example on a new species discovery – Pandanus thomensis Henriq. – illustrates how
a systemic and holistic perspective of the information allows a comprehensive knowledge of the information in
several supports and locations.2019-01-01T00:00:00ZVisconde de Vila Maior: o arquivo (s)em reservaDias da Silva, Ana MargaridaCarmo, António GouveiaGonçalves, M. Teresahttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/413482019-05-28T23:48:45Z2016-11-15T00:00:00ZTitle: Visconde de Vila Maior: o arquivo (s)em reserva
