Abstract
VISITORS to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who usually see only the Gardens and Museums, can have little idea of the great role that the Herbarium near the Main Gate has played in the botanical service of the Empire. Since the Herbarium was founded in 1852, members of the staff have, independently and collectively, and in association with other botanists, accomplished a vast amount of floristic work. In order to show the extent of this to the numerous visitors, particularly from overseas, who will no doubt visit the Gardens diiring the Coronation period, a special exhibit has been arranged in No. 3 Museum. In a large glass case there has been placed a selection of works prepared either wholly by, or with the assistance of, the scientific staff of the Herbarium and Museums.
