NTBG to present award to the ‘man who wrote the book’
Special Announcement, 09/14/2011
National Tropical Botanical Garden will present one of its highest awards to a British-Australian scientist. Receiving the Allerton Award for Excellence in Tropical Botany or Horticulture will be Dr. David J. Mabberly, now executive director at the New South Wales Royal Botanic Gardens Trust.
The medal ceremony will take place on September 18 in San Francisco, where NTBG’s Board of Trustees will be holding its semi-annual meeting. The Allerton Award recognizes specific achievements or a lifetime of achievements in tropical plant science.
“Professor Mabberley has made enormous contributions to science and education, and has reached plant lovers who wish to explore and better understand their world,” said Chipper Wichman, NTBG’s Director and CEO. “Through his published works and extraordinarily active career he has enriched the lives of countless people in so many countries, all the while protecting plant life far and wide.”
Mabberley literally 'wrote the book' on plants. His internationally acclaimed Mabberley’s Plant-Book: A portable dictionary of plants, their classification and uses is considered an indispensable reference guide that is widely popular with both scientific and non-scientific readers.
