Abstract
THROUGH the death of Prof. Percy Groom, which occurred at Gerrard's Cross on Sept. 16, there has passed away a man with an outlook and interests somewhat exceptional in the senior ranks of British botanists. He was born on Sept. 12, 1865, and entered Mason College, Birmingham, as a student, from which he passed to Cambridge on being elected to an exhibition at Trinity College. He obtained a first class in Part I. and a second in Part II. of the Tripos in 1887, taking botany as his principal subject. Afterwards he was elected to a Frank Smart studentship in botany at Caius College.
