United Kingdom, Botanist September 22, 1800 – September, 10, 1884.
George Bentham CMG FRS FLS was an English botanist, described by the weed botanist Duane Isely as "the premier systematic botanist of the nineteenth century".
I decided that my means were sufficient to enable me to devote myself to botany, a determination which I never, during the long period of my subsequent career, had on any occasion any reason to repent of.
I first began to dry specimens for preservation carelessly perhaps at first, but before the season was over, I had collected between one and two hundred species.
