JHC517

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:
24 June 1897
Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.160, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

Letter in which JDH expresses his feelings at having received an elevation of his knighthood from Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India to Knight Grand Commander of that order, based on his completion of THE FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA. JDH is pleased that many other scientific men were also on the honours list, particularly Richard Strachey who was exploring the Himalayas at the same time as JDH 50 years previously. JDH thanks William Turner Thiselton-Dyer for sharing the thoughts of Sir Stewart Bailey, who was on the honours council that awarded JDH's promotion, he himself has written to thank Lord George Hamilton, his only acquaintance on the council. JDH is disappointed that Thiselton-Dyer has not been knighted this time but is confident he will be so in JDH's lifetime. JDH mentions that he has spent a wonderful day at Windsor, Eton & Slough & will tell Thiselton-Dyer about it when they attend a Naval Review.

JHC518

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:
27 March 1898
Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.161, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH gives Sir Wiliam Turner Thiselton-Dyer his opinion on Otto Stapf's glossary or 'Clavis' for an unspecified publication, likely a Colonial flora. He specifically mentions: that beginning with Andropogoneae is not the sequence followed by nearly all other Colonial Floras apart from [August] Grisebach's, & the number of tribes Stapf has assigned to South Africa & India, as well as the placement of Zoysieae & Oryzeae out of Paniceae. JDH does however agree with some of Stapf's new tribes. He comments on some features that would make it difficult for Stapf to rearrange the Clavis more on the lines of the FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA. He criticises the complexity of some of the descriptions of the characters of orders & advises that the Clavis should be clear & simple for convenient use by colonists. JDH is going to Manchester.

JDH/2/16 f.165, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH writes to Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer regarding arrangements for publishing Harriet Thiselton-Dyer's drawings [in CURTIS' BOTANICAL MAGAZINE]. JDH criticizes the publisher Dulau for giving WTTD trouble with A HAND-BOOK TO THE FLORA OF CEYLON. JDH discusses his difficulties with classifying the grasses of Ceylon [Sri Lanka], [Otto] Stapf assists him with this but they disagree on the division of tribes & Stapf's key from FLORA CAPENSIS is proving flawed. JDH is going to Dartmouth, whilst he is away [William Botting] Hemsley will look after the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE.
