Life
[ edit ]
Tylden Masters studied at the King's College London and the University of St Andrews . He attended the lectures of Edward Forbes and John Lindley . His most famous works are Vegetable Teratology , which dealt with teratology (abnormal mutations) of vegetable species, and several works on Chinese plants (particularly conifers ), describing many of the new species discovered by Ernest Henry Wilson .
The larch Larix mastersiana Nepenthes hybrid N. × mastersiana Maxwellia New Caledonia , also bears his name.[5]
Tylden Masters was the editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle Charles Darwin .[6] Royal Society in 1870.
He was made a correspondent of the Institute of France in 1888. He was also a chevalier of the order of Leopold .
Tylden Masters died at the Mount, Ealing , on 30 May 1907. His body was cremated at Woking . His obituary in The American Florist credited him with preventing Kew Gardens "from being handed over to a political clique", with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) holding onto its Chiswick Garden, and for preventing "confiscation" of the RHS Lindley Library "in the dark days of the society at South Kensington".[7] Nature recites that his most definitive contributions to botany was when he was older and studying Coniferae since he wrote many papers to the Linnean and Horticultural Societies regarding their "structure and taxonomy."[8]
Family

In 1858, Tylden Masters married Ellen, daughter of William Tress, by whom he had four children. His wife and two daughters survived him.
