Botanists of Repute
Return to Title Page
If you are interested in the voyage
of discoveries made by local botanists in Moray, then this is where you
start.
It is through the pioneering work of
people such as Dr. George Gordon, Dr. Innes and James Keith that we know
something of the plants which grew around Moray in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. They certainly realised the importance of simply
recording what was there at the time, and it is as well that they did, for much
of what they saw has now vanished.
Here is how the wild plants of Moray
came to be discovered and recorded. It is by no means a complete list, but
hopefully includes the people who have contributed most to the
discoveries.
