  • Thomas Kirk ( * 1828 - 1898 ) fue un botánico neozelandés de origen británico. En 1863 llega a Auckland, disponiéndose a explorar botánicamente el área. Participó muy activamente de The Transactions of the New Zealand Institute, y su primer volumen publicado en 1869, fue de la mano de su magistral edición, y haciendo buen uso de él, contribuyó con 138 artículos durante cerca de 30 años de membresía. Fue un expertísimo taxónomo, logrando que aún en la actualidad se mantengan sus nombres. En algunos enormes géneros nombró muchas nuevas especies, ilustrándose en los siguientes ejemplos, donde el número entre paréntesis denota cuantas veces ha sido revisado y aún aceptado como especie: * Veronica 21 (7) * Celmisia 17 (6) * Gentiana 17 (7) * Carmichaelia 17 (11) * Olearia 16 (4) * Pittosporum 15 (5) * Lepidium 10 (4) * Ligusticum 9 (5) * Panax & Pseudopanax 8 (5) * Cotula 8 (3) * Gunnera 7 (4) * Colobanthus 6 (4) Su enorme herbario se conserva en la actualidad en el "Dominion Museum de Wellington".

dbp:text
  • From the Government Printer we have received a copy of one of the most interesting as well as the most valuable works yet issued by the Government of this colony—the Forest Flora of New Zealand. The book is foolscap folio, and like all Mr Didsbury's productions, is well and correctly printed. All our varied forest trees and shrubs are minutely described and illustrated; the native and vulgar names are given, the properties and uses are set forth in popular language as well as in the ordinary scientific style. The plates number one hundred and forty-two, and are chiefly executed by the draftsmen of the Survey Department. Most of them are signed by Mr Hugh Boscawen, and reflect great credit on his skill as a botanical artist. We notice other names of the survey staff, as well as those of Mr A. Hamilton of Napier, and Mr D. Blair. The work is written and compiled by Mr T. Kirk, f.l.s., and is highly creditable to the author. The contents might have been more systematically arranged, as we find closely allied species widely separated, altogether alien forms coming in between. The illustrations as a rule are excellent, but being by different hands exhibit a want of uniformity. Some are fully shaded; others in almost pure outline. In an appendix the plants are systematically classified, and to have followed this arrangement in the body of the work would have been an improvement. A comparative table at the end showing at one view the particulars scattered through the work as to strength, specific gravity, &c, of the various woods, would have been an acceptable addition. We would be sorry to criticise so excellent and valuable a work in any spirit of faultfinding. A limited number, we believe, were printed on large paper. It would have been well to have issued a number for sale, as the narrow margin to some of the plates will not be pleasing to book-lovers. (en)
