about Nerine
the origin
This story was first recorded in a book of plant history written by Robert Morison, Professor of Botany at Oxford University (and who has also been credited for formulating a pattern of plant classification from which later eminent botanists were to use in developing their own work), but there is no recorded evidence of a shipwreck. A student of Morison’s and also possibly his ‘political patron’ was Charles Hatton, a man also closely associated with the ‘discovery’ of the bulbs.
