JHC508

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:
23 January 1896
Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.151, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH writes to Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer regarding some photographs of Wedgwood & Tassie medallions depicting Sir Joseph Banks & his wife [Dorothea]. Discusses the fee he should be paid by the Ceylon [Sri Lanka] government for completing the flora [A HAND-BOOK TO THE FLORA OF CEYLON]. JDH is enjoying working on the plants in detail. He intends to use [Charles Baron] Clarke's work as reference for Cyperaceae though he will also need to refer to specimens. JDH criticises [Henry] Trimen's work [on the Ceylon handbook], particularly for referring the generic description of genus Caprifoliaceae to the ordinal for Viburnum. JDH mentions that when he was in India he was offered the Directorship of the [Peradeniya] botanic garden, Ceylon, after [George] Gardner died. JDH suggests that Thiselton-Dyer apply to the Board for administrative help during the absence of the Assistant Director [Daniel] Morris. JDH is sending Morris his recollection of the St Michaels from his Glasgow years as Morris is interested in oranges.
