Abstract

We aim to analyze the trajectory of the botanist Joaquim Monteiro Caminhoá, especially his participation in the Popular Conferences of Gloria, when in 1876 he was responsible for teaching a Popular Botany Course. Of a total of ten classes, only two were printed and will be subject to critical analysis. The texts produced for this course show the contribution of the character to the process of emergence and consolidation of the natural sciences in the Brazilian Empire.
