Hooker, Joseph Dalton

Born June 30, 1817, in Halesworth; died Dec. 10, 1911, in Sunningdale. British botanist. Corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences (1858). Son of W. J. Hooker.

From 1839 to 1843, Hooker took part in an Antarctic expedition (Australia, New Zealand, Kerguelen, Tierra del Fuego, Falkland Islands), and from 1847 to 1851 he studied the flora of northern India and Nepal. Beginning in 1855 he was assistant director and from 1865 to 1885, director of the Botanical Gardens at Kew (a London suburb). He was president of the Royal Society of London from 1873 to 1878. He worked on C. Darwin’s collections from the Galapagos Islands and was a supporter of Darwin’s theory of evolution; Darwin adduced Hooker’s data on plant geography to prove his theory. Hooker developed evolutionary ideas in botanical geography. He was the author (with G. Bentham) of a review of genera and founder (1893) of an index, still being pub: lished, of all species of seed plants that have been described (Index kewensis).
