  • The Marist Brother Octavius William Borrell was born in Greek Smyrna (today İzmir, Turkey) in January 1916. In 1931, at the age of 15, he joined the Marist Order, and continued his secondary schooling at the Marist Brothers training college at Herakleion. From September 1935 until 1952, Brother William taught at Collège Sainte Jeanne D'Arc, a French–English bilingual school in Shanghai, with additional teaching at Collège Saint Ignace. During this period, he continued his own education, completing his baccalauréat. While in Shanghai, Borrell became associated with the Musée Heude, formerly the Zikawei Museum (徐家汇博物院) located on the grounds of Université l'Aurore, a private French-language university, located in the Shanghai French Concession. From 1942 to 1945 he was the curator of museum's botanical department, and also collected specimens for the institution. With a colleague at the museum, Brother Paul August, together they wrote the manuscript, Flore de Changhai. Around the same time, a second manuscript on the trees and shrubs of Shanghai was prepared with a student, Xu Bingsheng. During the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, Borrell and other missionaries spent 3 years in an internment camp. In 1952, Borrell left China to work in other schools. The contents of the Musée Heude was ultimately divided between several different government institutions, including the Shanghai Natural History Museum. It is unclear if any of the plant collections made in this period have been preserved. (en)
