Patrick Millington Synge

Patrick Millington Synge VMH was a British botanist, writer and plant hunter. He was a graduate of Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge. His first book documented a British Museum of Natural History expedition to East Africa, led by George Taylor, later Director at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. He fought in the Intelligence Corps in the Second World War between 1943-45, gaining the rank of Major. He was editor of the Horticultural Journal between 1945-70 and was awarded the Victoria Medal of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1971. His many expeditions, including those to Nepal with Colville Barclay and Turkey with Rear-Admiral Paul Furse, were documented in his 1973 book In Search of Flowers.
