* The Reserve was named after the late Dr E. F. (‘Hep’) Warburg, who died on 9 June 1966 at the early age of 58. He was a founder member and Vice-President of the Berks, Bucks & Oxon Naturalists' Trust, an outstanding plant taxonomist, and coauthor of the ‘standard’ Flora of the British Isles (by A. R. Clapham, T. G. Tutin, & E. F. Warburg). He also held senior botanical posts in the University of Oxford and was a Fellow of New College. The Trust felt that, because of his deep interest in conservation, this Reserve would be a fitting memorial to a botanist of international renown. We found our own visit there in 1979 quietly inspiring.—Ed.
