Abstract
THE death on Aug. 10, at the age of sixty-eight years, of Dr. Richard Wettstein, Ritter von Westersheim, Hofrat, professor of systematic botany and director of the Botanic Garden and Institute of the University of Vienna, removes a notable figure from the botanical world. His commanding presence, courteous demeanour, and powers of oratory give credence to the statement by the correspondent of the Times that on more than one occasion he was seriously considered as a possible president of the Republic.
