Dale (1659? – 1737) was a physician and apothecary who practiced at Braintree, Essex. He was a neighbor and friend of John Ray and a botanist of note. Both in the Historia platarum and in the Synopsis methodicum stirpium Britannicarum, Ray acknowledged the valuable assistance he had received from Dale’s critical knowledge of plants. His Pharmacologia, which first appeared in 1693, was one of the earliest scientific works to be published in England on the subject of drugs and medicinal preparations (Henrey II, p. 7). His herbarium, bequeathed to the Apothecaries’ Company, is now in the British Museum, and the neat and elaborate tickets to the plants, many of which he obtained from the Chelsea garden, and numerous correspondents, show him to have been a botanist of no mean caliber. Linneaus commemorated his services to botany in the leguminous genus Dalea (D.N.B.).
