Talk by Professor Robert Evans

Druce was the re-founder of the ANHSO in 1901 and an officer of the Society for half a century. He was not only a pioneering botanist, but also a pharmacist, politician, preservationist and philanthropist. This talk will present his career.

Prof. Evans is Regius Professor of History emeritus at Oxford University.
