Abstract
THE presidential address of Mr. F. T. Brooks to Section K (Botany) of the British Association delivered at Norwich on September 9 began in very pleasing vein by describing some of the outstanding contributions to botany made in East Anglia, wherein Norwich is an ancient and important city. It is fitting that upon such an auspicious occasion, the president of the Section should remind his audience of the deep roots of botanical lore in Great Britain roots which go back to the enthusiasm of the ardent amateur. One heard the names of W. H. Burrell, W. A. Nicholson and Dr. C. B. Plowright coupled, in the recital of botanical progress in Norfolk, with more professional workers such as Dr. M. C. Cooke, Sir W. J. Hooker, Prof. F. W. Oliver, Prof. E. J. Salisbury, and many others.
