Harvey (William Henry), 1811-66 
This celebrated botanist and algologist, author of 
Thesaurus Capensis, Flora Capensis, Phycologia Britannica, 
and many similar works, has a very slight claim to notice 
here. He was born at Summerville, near Limerick, of which 
city his father was a merchant, February 5, 1811, and in 1835 
sailed for Capetown, where he became Colonial Treasurer in 
the following year, but returned to England in 1842, becoming 
Curator of the herbarium of Trinity College, Dublin, two 
years later, and in 1856 Professor of Botany. He died of 
phthisis at Torquay, May 15, 1866. A memoir of him with 
selections from his correspondence was published in London 
in 1869. ( Cf . Allibone Suppl. vol. ii.)
