JHC558

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:
17 March 1909
Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.199, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH is sending to Thiselton-Dyer [WTTD] the introductory essay and proof sheet to the Chinese Impatiens of the Paris Herbarium. Says he always regretted the verbose descriptions of the Cape and Tropical African floras. JDH believes that it is more desirable for the descriptions to be similar to those of the British India flora. He says he had forgotten about his description of the Burdwan coal flora from his Himalayan Journals. JDH is amused at WTTD's idea that he is the father of Godwan land [Gondwanaland; an ancient supercontinent that according to study of plate tectonics incorporated present-day South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica. WTTD may have credited JDH with the title due to his early study of plant distribution, from which he inferred that land masses change over time]. JDH can only remember discussing Indian and Mediterranean genera in Africa in his Marocco[sic] [Morroco] book [JOURNAL OF A TOUR IN MAROCCO AND THE GREAT ATLAS]. Has observed bees as main pollinating agents of Himalayan and American Balsams in his garden. [Issac Henry] Burkill has been observing the pollinating actions of insects in India but not relating to Balsams.
