Samuel Alexander Stewart

Samuel Alexander Stewart (1826, Philadelphia – 1910) was an American Irish botanist and geologist.

Whilst we worked Stewart had a very thin education from the local Sunday school.

[1] He attended Ralph Tate's science classes from 1860 and he was a founder member of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club.

Corry (1860 - 1883) drowned in Lough Gill, Co. Sligo and Stewart completed the Flora alone.
