Abstract
THE keeping up at the public expense of two great rival National Botanical Establishments, the one in London the other at Kew, in a state of continual competition with, instead of aid to, each other, whilst a third independent one, also national, may occasionally come into collision with one of them, seems to be a waste of public money, without any advantage to science or to the public, and attended with many inconveniences.
