Over the past four centuries botanists and gardeners in the British Isles have gathered, maintained and propagated many varying species of plants. Their work has been documented in innumerable books and articles which are often difficult to trace. The Dictionary of British and Irish Botanists and Horticulturalists represents a time-saving reference source for those who wish to discover more about the lives and achievements of the horticulturalists listed. The dictionary's utility comes not only from indicating the major publications of the named authors, but also the location of their herbaria and manuscripts.; The previous 1977 edition of the Dictionary has for many years been a much used source of information for botanists, botanic artists and archivists. In this revised edition the scope has been expanded to include among its 13,000 entries flower painters in addition to botanical artists over 1400 entries and, for the first time, garden designers.; Finally the Dictionary should have international appeal since so many botanists and gardeners worked on collective plants overseas, in particular in North America and the British Commonwealth.; Each entry gives, wherever possible, details of dates and places of birth and death, educational qualifications, professional posts, honours and awards, publications, location of plant collections, manuscripts, drawings and portraits. Its main function, however, is to provide further biographical references to books and periodicals. Comprehensive classified indices facilitate access by professions and activities, countries, and plant interests.

Kept in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, The Florilegium consists of two volumes of watercolors by the English artist Alexander Marshal (c. 1620-82). A botanical illustrator, horticulturist, and entomologist, Marshal was a gentleman of independent fortune who numbered among his friends some of the leading artists and botanists of his day.Marshal's style owes much to his experience as a miniaturist and to his connections with France. Watercolors of flowers, insects, and other forms of wildlife are delicately arranged on 159 folios, and Marshal's handwritten notes have been transcribed here to aid identification. Information about the plants and creatures depicted is given in the accompanying catalogue entries.Marshal's importance as an artist and his place in the history of botanical illustration are fully documented in the author's introduction and in the accompanying essay by Henrietta McBurney, Deputy Curator of the Print Room, Windsor Castle.
