href="http://plantexplorers.com">Plant Explorers</a> site and my contact there, J. W. Kingsley. Sometimes you come across some information that overlaps with your primary area of research, and this site does that in a very orderly and concise way. The involvement of Joseph Banks and Captain William Bligh with the mangosteen is indicated on my website (see <a href="https://mangosteen.com/history-and-folklore/">History and Folklore page</a>), but the broader context of the times is beautifully presented at <a href="http://plantexplorers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://plantexplorers.com/</a>. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in the history of botany and the people who were an integral part of it. In particular, I would draw attention to the pages on Sir Joseph Banks, starting with<br /><a href="http://plantexplorers.com/explorers/biographies/banks/joseph-banks-01.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://plantexplorers.com/explorers/biographies/banks/joseph-banks-01.htm </a></span></p> 183<p>I would also like to thank Patricia at the <a href="http://www.tbheritage.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thoroughbred Registry</a> for filling in some gaps. There were many people who never got back to me, probably thought I was nuts, just did not have the time or the inclination, and then there were people like Patricia who had nothing to gain, nothing to lose except some time, and who shared with me some information I would have been hard-pressed to get any other way. In a similar vein, I want to thank Lucy Moore for clearing up a point of information that went to the core of my research regarding Queen Victoria and
183 the mangosteen. Very grateful to both of you for giving me some of your time and input. </p> 184<p>And a final thanks to R. D. of Griffith University for our dialogue via email on the genetics of the mangosteen.
