Abstract
Ninety-five letters from Leonard Cockayne to colleagues In New Zealand and overseas have been summarised and annotated. The latter correspondents are K. von Goebel (39 letters between 1892 and 1931), F.O. Bower (8 letters between 1911 and 1917). and W.A. Sledge (1 letter in 1932), and the former are C.E. Foweraker (17 letters between 1911 and 1929). A.W. Wastney (10 letters between 1923 and 1927). O.H. Frankel (3 letters in 1930 and 4 letters from Frankel to Cockayne). and W. Martin (17 letters between 1924 and 1934). These correspondents represent a range from leaders in botanical thought in the early 1900s (Goebel and Bower), to both trained (Foweraker) and amateur (Martin) New Zealand botanists, a forester (Wastney). and a representative of a new generation of research botanists (Frankel). Cockayne's discovery of polymorphism in Nothofagus is used to illustrate his method of recording significant discoveries.
