英语词汇hosackia的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Hosackia. Few people know that New York City’s Rockefel- ler Center was once the site of the famous Elgin Gardens, one of the first botanic gardens in America. The Elgin Gardens were established by Dr. David Hosack (1769–1835) who sub- sequently deeded them to Columbia University, long the landlord of Radio City. Hosack, a professor at Columbia, is remembered as the physician who attended Alexander Ham- ilton after his fatal duel with Aaron Burr. He served on the first faculty of Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, and helped found Bellevue Hospital as well as founding and serving as first president of the now defunct Rutgers Medical College. Hosack wrote a number of medical and botanical books, including a biography of Casper Wistar (see wiste- ria). Hosackia, a genus of over 50 species of perennial herbs of the pea family, is named for him. Its most cultivated spe- cies is H. gracilis, “witch’s teeth,” a rock-garden plant about 12 inches high with pretty rose-pink flowers borne in small umbels.
