Associate of: Petiver, James (FRS 1695) (specimens to) Vernon, William (c. 1666-1711) (co-collector) His and Vernon's specimens were sent from Sloane to Ray who struggled to identify many of them and sorted them by taxa, regardless of collector, so that now it is difficult to tell which was collected by which. They were, however, of some use to him in the final volume of his Historia Plantarum (1704).
