OBITUARY. 



REV. DAVID LANDSBOROUGH. 



We regret to announce the dea^h of the 

 Rev. Dr. Landsborough, of lOlmirnock, a 

 well-known observer of the botany of the 

 West of Scotland, and one who to.-k a warm 

 interest in the horticulture^ of that district. 

 Tile Rev. David Landsborough, rhe -,on of a 

 man of ecientiHc taBtes, early gave up his 

 leisure to the study of botany, geology, and 

 kindred pursuits, and, in ':h<> course of a 

 long and busy life, proved of great assistance 

 to many in and b<*yond the town wh<?re Ids 

 duties lay. Dr. Landt^borough s services to 

 botany and gardening were considerable. 

 He loved flowers and plants, and made a 

 sjKX'ial Htudy of the effocts of winter on 

 tender plants in the Island of Arran, pub- 

 lishing, through the medium of the Edin- 

 burgli IJotanical Society, a series of papei-s on 

 the siibjf ct. 'Vhr>r Were followed by others in 

 whuii lie many useful and interesting 



particulars respecting the culture of such 

 things as tree fem«, palms, etr., in Arran. 

 He was one of the leading spirit- in. and 

 the first honorary president of, ihv (rlenfield 

 itamblers, a natural history society which 

 has done much good work in and around Kil. 

 marnock. The late Dr. Landsborough did 

 uch to foster tlie taste for plants and 

 flowers in his district, and his garden con- 

 tained a. number of interesting plants not 

 often met with in gardens.

 cu-ele of friends in the North at the death,
