Founded by John Hutton Balfour in 1836.
The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) is a scientific society for the study of flora, plant distribution and taxonomy relating to Great Britain, Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The society was founded as the Botanical Society of London in 1836, and became the Botanical Society of the British Isles, eventually changing to its current name in 2013. It includes both professional and amateur members and is the largest organisation devoted to botany in the British Isles (Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botanical_Society_of_Britain_and_Ireland). https://bsbi.org/
