Abstract
THE botanist, Dr. Leopold von Portheim, died in London on May 21. He had been seriously ill for some time. Portheim was born in Prague on February 7, 1869, and studied botany there and at Vienna, where he was a pupil of Dr. Julius von Wiesner. He thus lived to be one of the last surviving botanists who were trained by this great master.
