For Joseph Woods (1776–1864), English architect and botanist, author and Fellow of the Linnaean Society. In 1806, Woods founded the London Architectural Society. After the Napoleonic Wars, he travelled extensively in France, Switzerland, and Italy; studying their architecture and botany. His publications include a paper on the genus Rosa in the Transactions of the Linnaean Society (1818), and many papers in the Companion to the Botanical Magazine (1835–1836 and onward) and The Phytologist (1843 onward) based on his travel notes to the continent. In 1850, he published The Tourist’s Flora, a descriptive catalogue of the flowering plants and ferns of the British islands, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and the Italian islands.
