W. B. Grove's British Rust Funghi, first published by Cambridge
University Press in 1913, had long been the standard work on the
subject. But it had grown increasingly obsolete in the light of the
intensive research devoted to the group. As early as 1938, Dr
Wilson, who was reader in Mycology at Edinburg University, was
encouraged to prepare a new edition. Since then it became clear
that what was needed was not a revision but an entirely new book.
This was three-quarters complete in 1960, when Dr Wilson's illness
and death again brought it to a halt. His colleague Dr Douglas
Henderson then undertook full responsibility, completing the text
and redrawing all the figures. This book was published in 1966 and
is now being reissued. It covers all the species of Uredinales or
Rust Fungi known in Britain at the time of publication and takes
into account extensive research.
