The Committe for the Study of the Scottish Flora was set up in 1953 to co-ordinate the activities of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh (now the Botanical Society of Scotland) and the B.S.B.I. in Scotland, with each society appointing an equal number of members to the committee. In 1953, B.L. Burtt was appointed its Chairman, and Basil Ribbons its secretary.
