Author:
P. S. Green [Peter Shaw Green] (1920-2009), Keeper of the Herbarium and Deputy Director, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, author of account of Lord Howe Island and Norforlk Island in the Flora of Australia
Publication details:
Correspondence from Australia and Great Britain, dating from between 1967 and 1975. Other material between 1954 and 1982.
According to his obituary in the 'Kew Bulletin' (2010), Green worked '[a]lmost singlehandedly' on the account of the two islands for the 'Flora of Australia'. This collection of around 100 items contains material relating to that work, largely assembled on the spot during a Royal Society and Percy Sladen Expedition, and including correspondence with a number of experts in the field. (For list of correspondents see below.) The collection is in good condition, on lightly-aged paper, in matching worn red box files.
