Botanical History On This Day
1771 Solway Moss burst its earthen banks after heavy rains, sending a black tide of peat across 400 acres and leaving “tremendous heaps of turf” in its wake.
1786 William Barton, U.S. Navy surgeon and medical botanist, was born; his Vegetable Materia Medica cataloged American medicinal plants and debunked dubious cures.
1855 William James Caparne, botanical painter and prolific iris breeder, was born; the Guernsey artist introduced hundreds of new irises and left a vast floral oeuvre.
