The 30th of June of 2017 will mark the 200th birth anniversary of Joseph Dalton Hooker, who was born as the second son to William Jackson Hooker and Maria Sarah Hooker nee Turner in Suffolk, England. He died in Sunningdale, England, on 10 December 1911 at a ripe age of 94. His monumental seven-volume Flora of British India (1872-1897) is being consulted extensively even today not only within the Indian subcontinent, but throughout the world.
