S855. — Erandls, Sir Hletricli (1824-1907). — Inspector General of Indian 
I'orests. When lie went to India in 1855 he stopped a day at Aden 
and collected 64 plants. He is the only visitor who spoke ‘ of the 
wonderful variety of the vegetation of Aden.’ He gave the number 
of plants growing at Aden as anaounting to about 260, and in this 
he came nearer the truth than any other botanist. A short, sketch 
of his voyage appeared in Petermanii’s Mitteilungen. It seems that 
his Aden plants exist no longer. Professor Strasburger informed 
me that they are n)pt at Bonn. I also ascertained' that they are not 
at the ‘ Botanische Staatsinstitut’ of Hamburg. It is, therefore, 
probable that they perished in the same fire which destroyed his 
early collections.

1857 ? — Schomburgk, Sir Eobert Hermann (1804-65). — Born at Freiburg 
in Silesia. There are a few Aden plants at Kew collected by him. 
We do not know the exact date of his visit to Aden. It must have 
been before 1860, as Anderson made use of his specimens for the 
publication of his ‘ Florula.’ It was probably in 1857 when Schom- 
burgk was appointed British representative to the Siamese Court. 
1851^. — Anderson, 'fflioinas (1832-1870). — In 1854 he entered the Bengal 
Medical service. His health failing, he went home. The steamer 
being detained at Aden for some days, he made an interesting collection 
of plants upon which he based his Florula Adenensis. Later on he 
became Director of the Calcutta Botanical Garden. Plants at Kew.
