HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

(1857-1930) Born in Dundee, Scotland and educated in Northern Ireland, Augustine Henry joined the Chinese Imperial Maritime Custom Service at the age of 24. For almost 20 years, in his spare time, partly spent in central China almost 1000 miles inland, Henry collected and dried botanical specimens that he forwarded to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. One rough estimate places of the number of species he collected while in China at 5000. Henry grew tired of working in China and returned to Europe, where he studied forestry, eventually becoming the first professor of forestry at the Royal College of Science in Dublin.
