Summary/Abstract: This article analyses selected biographical episodes and representative poetical works by Juliusz Słowacki which confirm the significance of floristic memory both in his individual perception of physical phenomena and artistic imagination. The kind of memory put forward in this text is a synthesis of autobiographical and landscape memory. These memory types have been clearly defined in contemporary scholarship. The notion of floristic memory employed in the context of Słowacki’s studies is postulative and purely functional. This particular memory type may also follow from his special relationship with the natural environment in childhood and youth, which determined Słowacki’s individual identity. The nineteenth-century philosophical and aesthetical tendencies are considered to be additional modelling factors.
