  John Sibthorp - LoveToKnow 1911
JOHN SIBTHORP (1758-1796), English botanist, was born at Oxford on the 28th of October 1758, and was the youngest son of Dr Humphrey Sibthorp (1713-1797), who from 1747 to 1784 was Sherardian professor of botany at Oxford.
The seventh appeared in 1830, after Smith's death, and the remaining three were produced by John Lindley between 1833 and 1840.
Another member of the family, Ralph Waldo Sibthorp (1792-1879), a grandson of Dr Humphrey Sibthorp, was a well-known English divine.

 John Sibthorp's Flora Graeca: an Exhibit in the Rare Book Room of The Holden Arboretum, Kirtland, Ohio
John Sibthorp (1758-1796) was an English botanist who had done his M.A. and M.D. at Oxford and studied botany under Antoine Laurent de Jussieu at Paris and A. Broussonet at Montpellier.
At some point John Sibthorp became enthralled with the work of Dioscorides and the problem of identifying the actual plants referred to by him - which had been confused over the course of the centuries through the centuries with western European plants.
Sibthorp persuaded Bauer to accompany him on the ensuing expedition to Greece and the Levant where he began recording the images of the plants found by Sibthorp.

  Stanton Harcourt: Manors and other estates | British History Online
In 1475 John Harcourt granted the manor to trustees, and in 1483 was outlawed for his part in Buckingham's rebellion; he died in 1484, leaving the manor to his relict Ann.
(Footnote 96) John died in or before 1396, and Elizabeth in 1397; a grant of the manor to Gilbert Talbot in 1396 was presumably for a term, since Thomas Vaughan died seised of the manor in 1432.
In 1796 Sibthorp left lands in Sutton manor, later known as University farm, to Oxford university, to finance publication of his book Flora Graeca and to establish a professorship of rural economy; the farm was sold during the 20th century.

 Botaniska Föreningen i Göteborg - föredrag
I sitt testamente lämnade Sibthorp sin förmögenhet till Oxfords universitet under vissa vilkor, bland vilka ingick att de skulle på grundval av hans anteckningar och Bauers bilder utge ett praktverk, Flora Græca i tio foliovolymer samt därtill en “Prodromus” i oktav.
Detta beror på att John Sibthorp inte förde ordentliga anteckningar utan i allt för hög grad litade på sitt minne.
Vi får se Sibthorp och ett antal växter som han upptäckte i Grekland, både handkolorerade kopparstick och moderna färgfoton: Morina persica (Dipsacaceae) med vita och rosa blommor, det ej särdeles smakliga smultronträdet Arbutus unedo, flugblomstret Ophrys tenthredinifera samt den östliga alrunearten Mandragora autumnalis med sina gula frukter.

 North Mymms - Parish and People - Chapter 22 - The Sibthorp Story
The Gentleman’s Magazine for January 1856 remarks: "Colonel Sibthorp ever retained a strong affection for his original profession - shown in the ardour and profuse liberality with which he endeavoured to advance to perfection the militia regiment of his county after his appointment as colonel." He was a deputy-lieutenant of the county and a magistrate.
Sibthorp with his usual kindness at once entered into the plan of endeavouring to erect a room adequate to the purpose," and seven years later "the gravel which has been given by Mr.
It would seem that the Sibthorps had an affection for North Mymms, for on the memorial tablet that his grandson erected in Canwick church the colonel is stated to have been of "Canwick Hall, Lincolnshire, and of Potterells, Hertfordshire" and as having been born in North Mymms.

Whilst in Vienna Ferdinand was invited by Dr. John Sibthorp, Sherardian Professor of Botany at Oxford University, to accompany him on the 1786-87 expedition to Greece which produced the first studies for the ten volumes of the Flora Graeca.
Sibthorp made a second expedition in 1794, but Ferdinand remained in Oxford completing the illustrations - some 1000 water-colours of plants, 363 of animals and 131 landscapes - on which he was still working when he was selected by Sir Joseph Banks to be the natural history draughtsman on HMS Investigator.
Although Bauer had already turned forty and was nearly twice as old as anyone else on board, including the captain, he seems to have been chosen by Banks as one of his ‘men of science’ without a moment’s hesitation.

Even in the middle of the seventeenth century, John Goodyer (1592 to 1644) thought it worthwhile to make the first English translation of the whole work.

 100-Year-Old Pharmaceutical Device Invented by Cincinnatian John Uri Lloyd Still Used Today in Manufacture of Herbal ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
December 13, 2004, marks the 100th anniversary of John Uri Lloyd's patent on his Concentrator for Solutions, the device that has come to be known as Lloyd's Cold Still.
During the early 20th century, pharmacists producing botanical extracts were concerned that heat applied during concentration diminished the efficacy of many products through the process of evaporating the solvent; this was particularly true in the case of fluid extracts.
John Uri Lloyd of Lloyd Brothers Pharmacists, Cincinnati, developed a concentrator and extractor that employed the then-novel principle of applying heat to the surface, rather than the bottom, of the liquid, which allowed for evaporation of the volatile solution without heating the entire extract; it was patented December 13, 2004.
