Some extracts from notices
written by colleagues at the time • ,
of his death perhaps sum up better
and more succinctly than we could
the qualities of Bentham, the man.

Sir Joseph Hooker, his close associate of many years wrote that it is difficult to
give an "idea of the prodigious amount of systematic and descriptive work in
phanerogamic botany that Bentham accomplished. In the Genera Plantarum there is
hardly an order of any importance that he did not more or less remodel. His labours
on the Compositae, Gramineae , Cyperaceae and Orchidaceae are especially noticeable,
and he contributed masterly essays upon these and others to the Linnean Society.

His treatises on the Leguminosae are not less exhaustive and valuable; and there is
not a temperate or tropical region of the globe whose floras have not been largely
elucidated by him. It may be safely affirmed that for variety and extent of good
work of the kind, he had no superior. The distinctive qualities of his descriptions

"Bentham was preeminently a
worker" wrote B.D. Jackson in his
book George Bentham (1906) , words
which in many ways is a summary
of a highly successful life, an
epitaph that is not eroded by the
passage of time. Specialists
studying legumes, especially
tropical ones, think of Bentham
as one of the fathers of
leguminology , and so he was, but
agrostologists also claim him and
specialists in the Compositae,
Scropulariaceae, Labiatae,
Cyperaceae, and Orchidaceae also
feel some kinship, albeit less
acutely. Jackson’s biography
lists nearly 200 publications,
many of which were book-length,
about 10% of which treat legumes.

are — scientific accuracy, good arrangement, precision of language,
lucidity, and the discarding of what is superfluous. In these
respects he has had no superior since the days of Linnaeus and Robert
Brown, and he has left no equal except Asa Gray.

n0f his amiable disposition and his sterling qualities of head
and heart it is impossible to speak too highly: though cold in manner
and excessively shy in disposition, he was the kindest of helpmates
and most disinterested of labourers for others” (Nature, xxx., 1884,
pp. 543-544). Elsewhere Hooker says: "A prominent feature of
Mr. Bentham’s character was a constitutional reserve or rather shyness,
often harassing to himself, which prevented many from appreciating his
fine disposition and generous qualities. He was the most helpful of
modern botanists, sparing neither time nor trouble in aiding his
brother workers with head and hand, pen and microscope. . . .He
catalogued, arranged and distributed most of the plants collected by
Robert and Richard Schomoburgk in Guiana, also Hartweg’s collections
and besides many lesser ones, those of his friend Richard Spruce. . .
amounting to not less than 50,000 specimens. These were all
gratuitous services, undertaken solely in the interest of botanical
science, and it is impossible to over-estimate their importance as
contributions to c-ur knowledge of the flora of the richest tropical
regions of the globe. Nor did his kind offices end with these acts,
for in more than one instance he undertook the collection of money
due from subscribers, with the view of saving his collecting friends
the expense and trouble of agency and commission.” (Proc. Linn. Soc.
1884-50). Asa Gray (Proc. Amer. Acad. 20. 1885) eulogized: "His

long life was a perfect and precious example, much needed in this
age, of persevering and thorough devotion to Science, while
unconstrained as well as untrammelled by professional duty or
necessity. For those endowed with leisure, to ’live laborious days’
in service is not a common achievement.”

Because sometimes we tend to endow our models with superhuman
qualities, we should read Jackson’s description (l.c) of his
physical appearance: "In early and middle life he was nearly six

feet, tall and erect, though in late years a stoop caused much of
his height to be lost. His hair was originally black and abundant,
with a curious white lock at the side of his head; in late life his
hair was still fairly abundant, but silvered with age, though more
scanty on the top of head. His sight was strong, and he wore
spectacles all his life after boyhood; he would push these up on
his forehead, when examining a plant with the naked eye, and that
done, a movement of the brow would settle the spectacles once more
in place. His eyes were dark and piercing, his features strongly
marked, and almost hawk-like. . . .Spare in person, he ate but
sparingly, and that quickly; in late years he used to breakfast,
then drive to the town station, and after a day's work at Kew, would
spend an hour before dinner writing out his notes in a fair copy
for the printer. Latterly these were his two meals in the day,
and none of the assistants in the Herbarium at Kew remember him
taking even the slightest refreshment during his working hours."

-3~

On my first visit to the herbarium at Kew many years ago, the
spectacles, the pen and inkwell that Bentham used were pointed out
in a small display case and the small marble-top table used by
Bentham’ s father, then by Bentham himself and subsequently by
Sir Joseph Hooker also was still there in the herbarium. But the
several hundred generic names for which he is at least partly
responsible (about 20 of which are legumes) , stand as a timeless
memorial to a life spent in the service of the science of botany.

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE ECOLOGY OF THE BRUCHIDS ATTACKING LEGUMES (PULSES)

This Symposium was held April 16-19, 1980 at the University Francois
Rabelaris General chairman G.S. Fraenkel chaired the first session on general
InfSSSS1 PJ,oblems concerning bruchids; one of the speakers was B.J.

a1?? SeTd sefion> chaired by s- U«ida, covered relations between
bruchids and their host plants. SOUTHGATE chaired the next session on the
importance of polymorphism in different bruchid populations; the fourth
session, chaired by C.D. Johnson, covered biogeography, parasitism and
distribution of bruchid attacks. The final session, chaired by V. Labeyrie
was devoted to formulating a short and long-term international program on the
ecological studies required to protect pulses and to obtain pest-free crops.
