384 BOTANY : ITS POSITION AND PEOSPECTS 
a well educated and passable Botanist would be tolerated for 
his own sake, but a really zealous ditto, well educated else- 
ivhere, and commanding the respect and esteem of men 
of science in general, must I should say force a proper 
appreciation of Botany in the University. 
Similarly a personal conference between Hooker, Henslow, 
Lemann ^ (who was preparing to break up his collections and 
distribute the fragments where most wanted), and the Cam- 
bridge authorities, estabhshed the other collection at the sister 
University. As he tells Bentham, who arranged the Herbarium : 
Henslow scouting the idea of valuing the species or 
specimens because they were uniques has told well, and 
proved to the Dons that such collections have other and a 
higher value than old china. I must say they express them- 
selves liberally and well. 
1 Charles Morgan Lemann (1806-52), M.D. Camb. 1833, F.L.S. 1831, 
F.R.C.R 1836, coUected in Madeira 1837-8 and at Gibraltar 1840-1, and pre- 
sented his Herbarium of 30,000 specimens to Cambridge University. He wrote, 
but did not publish, a Flora of Madeira. The genus Carkmanvia was named 
after him by Bentham.
