	Clivia Article 6 William Jackson Hooker
		Sir William Jackson Hooker was born at Norwich in 1785.
		Hooker’s description of Imantophyllum aitonii seems to be based on a drawing of the plant at Syon House, requested by the head gardener, Mr Forest, a drawing and specimens of the fruit from Kew, supplied by William Aiton, and possibly a small piece of a leaf Bowie gave to Hooker.
		Hooker’s extensive foreign correspondence and his excellent relationships with institutions such as the Foreign and Colonial Offices, the Admiralty and the East India Company established Kew’s position at the forefront of science.

	The Megaherbs - PlantExplorers.com™
		First described by Joseph Hooker while on the epic Antarctic voyage of the Terror and Erebus under Captain James Ross, these strange plants were not so startling for their size, but for their size relative to where they grew.
		Named 'Megaherbs' by Captain Ross, these unusual plants may not seem large when compared to their tropical counterparts, but when you stop to consider that they are growing on the Subantarctic Islands of New Zealand, they do seem oddly large for the harsh climate they thrive in.
		Named by Hooker in honour of Captain Ross, Bulbinella rossii is one of the few 'Megaherbs' which may be grown in some cool temperate gardens, although bulbs and seeds can be difficult to obtain.

	Arnold Arboretum - Planting Sequence
		Bentham and Hooker, leading English systematists of the day, conducted their botanical investigations at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, where Sir Joseph had succeeded his father, Sir William Jackson Hooker, as director.
		According to the Bentham and Hooker system, plants producing flowers with separate or free floral parts were less advanced, or more primitive, than those producing flowers with united parts.
		Bentham and Hooker classified the conifers in a distinct group between the dicots and the monocots; since there are few woody monocots, the conifers came last in the planting sequence and were sited along Bussey Brook at the end of the original road and pathway network.

		The images were engraved and hand-colored by many artists including Sydenham Edwards, William Graves, James Sowerby, John Curtis, William Jackson Hooker, W.H. Fitch, Matilda Smith, Lillian Snelling and Stella Rose Craig.
		Though some say the later Edwards of the Botanical Register are superior, we are convinced that Edwards poured his creative energy into the early years of the Curtis Botanical Magazine and his talent was largely spent by the time he left to start his own magazine.
