The author comes to the conclusion that W. Mahoni, Masters 

 is identical with W. Whytei. and that this species is common to 

 South East Rhodesia and Nyassaland; the evidence is based 

 on exomorphic and endomorphic (leaf-anatomy) characters.

Harry Marshall Ward. 



Ward was born in 1854 and died on Aug. 26, 1906. He 

 pursued his studies at Cambridge, as a Scholar of Christ 's 

 College, and graduated in 1879. After studying for a time under 

 Professor Sachs at Würzburg, he was charged by the Govern- 

 ment of Ceylon in 1880 to investigate the coffee-leaf disease 

 (Hemeleia vastatrix) then ravaging the Island, where he spent two 

 years in the successful accomplishment of his task. On his return 

 to England he was for three years assistant to the late Professor 

 Williamson at Owens College, Manchester. In 1885 he left 

 Manchester to become Professor of Botany at the Royal Indian 

 Engineering College, Coopers Hill, where he remained until, 

 in 1895, he was elected Professor of Botany in the University of 

 Cambridge, which post he was occupying at the time of his death. 



Owing to his remarkable enthusiasm for his science, Ward was 

 very successful as a teacher; and, especially at Cambridge, 

 educated many botanists who are now producing excellent work.
