The Botanical Society of Canada was founded in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in November 1860.[1] Among its founding members was Scottish-Canadian botanist George Lawson, who created the Society with the goal of establishing a botanical garden at Queen's College (now Queen's University), and publishing a catalogue of Canadian plants.[2]
