John Goldie (botanist) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Goldie (botanist)
John Goldie (21 March 1793 – 23 July 1886) was a Scottish-born botanist and author. He is credited with recording the existence of fourteen plant species previously unknown to science including Dryopteris goldiana. He was born in Kirkoswald, the son of William Goudie and Janet McClure. Goldie apprenticed as a gardener and was employed at the Glasgow Botanic Garden. In 1815, he married Margaret Smith, the daughter of a local botanist and florist. In 1817, Goldie was able to raise enough money to voyage to North America to collect botanical samples. Unfortunately, his first three shipments of collected materials were lost at sea en route to Scotland. In 1819, Goldie returned safely home with specimens intact. In 1822, he published ''Description of some new and rare plants discovered in Canada in 1819''. Goldie travelled to St. Petersburgh in Russia in 1824, where he helped establish a new botanical garden. Goldie returned there in 1830. Goldie established his own nursery business during the same period with the object of providing additional income for his family. In 1844, he moved his family to Ayr, Ontario, where he rented land and later purchased a farm. The family also constructed and operated a number of mills. Goldie later died there at the age of 92. The fern ''Aspidium goldianum'', later Dryopteris goldiana, was named in his honour. == References ==
