Frederick Edward Hulme

Frederick Edward Hulme (March 1841 – 10 April 1909) was known as a teacher and an amateur botanist.

His most famous work was Familiar Wild Flowers, which was issued in nine volumes.

The major work was the botanical illustration by Hulme of each flower which was recreated as a colour plate in each volume.
