3rd Earl Bute not a founder of Kew Gardens[edit]

The first paragraph says that the 3rd Earl Bute was a founder of Kew Gardens. Unless I am misunderstanding something, this is impossible since Kew Gardens was founded in 1840 and the 3rd Earl died in 1792. However, this does sound like something he would have done had he lived. He was a great enthusiast of botany and even wrote a book on the subject. His descendants have been ardent collectors too. Perhaps the reference should be to one of his descendants? Terence (talk) 16:58, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 6th Duke of Devonshire appears to be a more likely candidate for "a founder of Kew Gardens". His Wikipedia article states "Devonshire, himself a keen horticulturalist, was elected President of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1838, a position in which he served for twenty years until his death. It was this interest which led him to establish the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew as a national botanic garden." Terence (talk) 17:40, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
