Chaeles Thomas Druery was born on May 22nd, 1843, and 

 died at his residence in Acton on August Sth, 1917, after a long 

 illness borne with exemplary patience. 



It will probably be by l)is books and papers in connection with 

 British Ferns and their Varieties that his name will be more 

 particularly associated. In the later seventies he first commenced 

 the cultivation of tlie varieties of British Ferns, which he 

 pursued with enthusiasm to the end. As a Fern hunter and 

 raiser he was perhaps second to none. The creation of the 

 Superhum section in Athyrium Filix-Foemina and the Gracillimwn 

 types in PoJysticlmm acideatitm, which have received recognition 

 at the hands of the Iloyal Horticultural Society, were themselves 

 achievements of a high order and stand out as landmarks in the 

 cult, whilst his many wild finds testified to the keenness and 

 accuracy of his observation. 



His discovery of what was afterwards termed Apospory first 

 brought him into prominence as a keen scientific observer, and his 

 Fellowship of tiie Linnean Society followed on the 19th March, 

 1885. His paper, "Observations on a peculiar mode of Develop- 

 ment in tlie Lady Fern, Athyviwn F'dix-Foem'ma" was read before 

 the Society on the 19th June, 1884, and his second paper, "Singular 

 mode of reproduction in Athyrium Filix-Famina var. clarissima,'" 

 on the 20th November, led to the investigation by Prof. F. O. 

 Bower, which was laid before this Society on the 18th December, 

 1884; it was the result of culture and iuvestigalion in the
