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.

Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.148, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH offers his assistance to Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer in the matter of the RBG Kew library catalogue. [Sir John?] Evans has approached JDH about a scheme for transferring RBG Kew's Cryptogamic collection to the British Museum [of Natural History]. JDH would not discuss the matter with Evans but informs WTTD of his strong objection to breaking up the RBG Kew herbarium collection built up by JDH & his father, Sir William Jackson Hooker. He suspects Evans wanted to relocate the Musci & algae in particular. JDH describes the herbarium in total as representing the 'Botany of the Century' & says to divide it would be 'emasculation'. Particularly considering WJH's early career as a cryptogamist & JDH's own publications & collections from Antarctica.
