Date:

Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.131, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH critiques the work of Alphonse de Candolle. His MONOGRAPHIAE PHANEROGAMARUM does not accord with JDH's revision of the Phanerogams. JDH recognises that he has worked hard at botany, though he is wealthy enough not to have needed to. However, he finds that de Candolle's treatment of plant distribution GÉOGRAPHIE BOTANIQUE RAISONNÉE shows a lack of deep understanding of the subject & is more a collection of useful data than an attempt to reach any conclusions. JDH asks if Alphonse de Candolle is dead. JDH has had no answer to his letter to Carriere[?]. [George] Bentham has completed work on the Australian Enocaulaceae & JDH is reviewing them to determine which ones are Indian species. JDH suggests that de Candolle's systematic work does not compare favourable with those of Asa Gray, Antoine Jusseau & George Bentham but if de Candolle is dead them JDH will take on de Candolle's systematic work.

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:
12 November 1893
Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.132, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

In response to a 'hint' from Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer JDH discusses the merits of discontinuing the English description of species in the BOTAICAL MAGAZINE. He points out that whilst the Latin description are often cited, e.g in [Arthur Gerhard] Walpers' works, the English are not. The 'yarns' about the species attract interest but are labour intensive & those who do not include them such as [John Gilbert] Baker complete the descriptions much faster than JDH. JDH mentions he has written to [George] King. Also that he is enclosing a letter from [Isaac Bayley] Balfour [letter not present] to whom he wrote about the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE. In a post script JDH adds that he can no longer expect [Daniel] Morris to contribute the previously offered excursus on Erythroxylum coca for the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE & asks if there is any more recent information on it than in the Jan 1889 [KEW] BULLETIN.
