Raleigh Black
Raleigh Adelbert Black (11 March 1880 – 2 July 1963) was a Scottish-born Australian botanist who amassed one of the largest and most important private collections of Tasmanian plant specimens of his day.
==Biography==
He was probably born in Aberdeen, Scotland, where his father tutored in theology. In 1890 the family emigrated to Hobart, Tasmania, where the father helped to found the University of Tasmania. From an early age Black was interested in natural history. He gained a good reputation as an amateur entomologist after making a collection of Tasmanian beetles, and this led to his employment by the Tasmanian government to investigate the incidence of San Jose scale in Tasmanian orchards. He was given a permanent position at the age of 21, at which time he turned his attention to botany. Tutored by Leonard Rodway, Black obtained a solid working knowledge of the Tasmanian flora. Black moved to Sydney around 1927, and to Melbourne in 1931. There he took work as a country traveller for a chemical firm, a job that offered many opportunities for specimen collection. Around 1940 he became interested in plant physiology, especially the movement of water through the vessels. He died in Melbourne in 1963.
