Abstract
A MARKED feature of the scientific activities of, the past fifty years has been the extensive establishment throughout the British Empire of botanic gardens and botanic stations. The history of such institutions is a long one; it takes us back to the time of the Pharaohs. It is also wide; the Spaniards found, in the Mexico they devastated, establishments of this nature conducted with as much enlightenment and on as elaborate a scale as any then to be met with in Europe.
