XIV

He reportedly had a passion for botanical experiments, which he pursued at the: expense of his finances. And family. His divorce and expulsion from the——Fellowship in the Royal Society has been blamed on the expenses he put into greenhouses and "soil mixtures." He is: nevertheless a noted figure in Scottish gardening with a claim——to be, "the father of it." He had a son from his second marriage. The genus Justicia is named for him.
