54 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTKS ON THE EARLY BOTANISTS 



Borrer calls him " A very accurate investigator of Lichens." 

 I called Rosa involuta var. Robertsoni, a Rose he found in 

 Heaton Dene. His plants also are at the Newcastle Museum. 

 His name is first cited by Winch as an authority for the 

 occurrence of Anthriscus ctrefolium near Gateshead in 1807. 



Sir W. C. Trevelyan, Bart., of Wallington, born 1797, 

 died 1879, is often cited in Winch's "Flora" as an authority 

 for plants in the Wansbeck country. He also visited Teesdale, 

 where he discovered Epilobhim alpimim and Diphyscium 

 foliosum. He is best known to botanists by his paper on the 

 botany of the Faroe Islands, published in 1835. Greville 

 named after him a pretty little fungus, which is now called 

 Diderma Trevelyani, Fries. Other members of his family 

 were interested in botany. Sir John Trevelyan is given by 

 Winch as the finder of what we now call Niiphar mfermedium 

 in Chartner's Lough, and Miss Emma Trevelyan as the dis- 

 cover of Linncza borealis in a plantation at Catcherside. 



John Hogg, of Norton, near Stockton-on-Tees, born 1800, 

 died 1869, contributed an appendix on Natural History to 

 Brewster's "History of Stockton" in 1827. This is often 

 cited in Winch's " Flora" and by Watson in " New Botanist's 

 Guide." 



Robert Embleton, born at Berwick-on-Tweed 1806, died 

 at Beadnell 1877, was a fellow student at Edinburgh of H. C. 

 Watson and Sir Walter Trevelyan. He became a surgeon, 

 and settled at Embleton, near Alnwick. He was one of the 

 original members of the Berwickshire Field Club. He is often 

 cited in Winch's " Flora " as an authority for localities near 

 Alnwick, and checked for Mr. Watson a catalogue, now at 

 Kew, of plants seen within three miles of Embleton. His 

 paper on Maianthemwn bifolhim will be found in the Tran- 

 sactions of the Berwick Club for 1849. He was also a 

 zoologist, and wrote several zoological papers. 



R. B. Bowman, of Newcastle and Richmond, in Yorkshire, 

 died 1882, is often cited as an authority for localities in 

 Winch's " Flora " and Watson's " New Botanist's Guide."
