The Joseph Dalton Hooker Collection
The Joseph Dalton Hooker Correspondence Project at Kew is making available online the personal and scientific correspondence of the botanist and explorer Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817–1911), Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens’ Kew from 1865-1885. The project was conceived by staff of The University of Sussex and Kew's Library, Art and Archive department and began as a partnership between Kew and the University of Sussex's Centre for World Environmental History. It has been made possible by support from the Stevenson Family Charitable Trust. Letter summaries can be searched through Ɛpsilon, with links to images and transcriptions at the project site at Kew (https://www.kew.org/explore-our-collections/correspondence-collections/joseph-hooker-collections).
JDH writes to Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer regarding the delineation of the genera Callitris, Widdringtonia alias Pachylepis & Tetraclinis. He regards them as three distinct genera especially on reflection that they are from distinct geographic areas: Australia, South Africa & north Africa respectively. In a post script JDH adds that his work on grasses, including Indian species, is complicated by [Otto] Stapf's work on African grasses & will require JDH to make alterations as he goes.
