Abstract
TRIBUTE FROM BRITISH BOTANISTS ON July 28 Sir William Thiselton-Dyer attained his eightieth birthday and was the recipient of the subjoined letter from botanists throughout the country. Sir William's work as assistant director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, under Sir Joseph Hooker, and then as director for a memorable period of twenty years, is so well known that it is not necessary to refer to the many important things he did during his term of office. The present condition of the Gardens, and the prestige of Kew all over the world, are sufficient testimony to his ability and prescience. We beg to extend to Sir William in his retirement our congratulations and best wishes that he may long continue to enjoy his health and carry on his botanical activities.
