Employed early on in his career by Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist John Lindley (1799 1865) went on to conduct important research on the orchid family and also recommended that Kew Gardens should become a national botanical institution. This pioneering three-volume work of palaeobotany, first published between 1831 and 1837, catalogues almost 300 species of fossil plants from the Pleistocene to the Carboniferous period. The geologist and palaeontologist William Hutton (1797 1860), with whom Lindley collaborated, was responsible for collecting the fossil specimens from which the 230 plates were...
