Abstract

J.H Maiden is the Government Botanist and Director of the Botanic Gardens, Sydney. Corresponding Member. I have used the term "botanists" in a somewhat wide sense, having included collectors of note, whether they described their finds or not, notable horticulturists, and, in my general list (5), botanists who have described Australian plants whether they visited this land or not. I have included no living man, so far as I am aware. Includes a record of works by renowned and deceased botanists, such as Francis Abbott Jr. (1834-1903).
