Here is a 150-word caption for Roundell Palmer: Roundell Palmer, also known as Lord Selborne, was an English politician and naturalist who made significant contributions to our understanding of the natural world. Born in 1807, he went on to become a prominent figure in British politics, serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1852-1855 and later becoming Prime Minister for just one year (1868). However, it is his passion for botany that has left an enduring legacy. Palmer was instrumental in establishing Kew Gardens, a renowned botanical institution dedicated to preserving plant species around the world. His work on orchids led to significant discoveries about their classification and distribution. Today, Roundell Palmer's name lives on as a testament to his dedication to science and conservation, inspiring future generations of naturalists and scientists alike.
