James Sherard
(1666-1738), botanist and apothecary, had gardens famous for rare plants
at Eltham, south of Greenwich. Dillenius made the gardens memorable
through excellent illustrations, drawn and engraved by himself. They were
sufficiently accurate to be of considerable service to Linnaeus (Hunt).
