Friend of Ray and Joseph Andrews. **Abbreviated name**: *Dale* \[standard form in IPNI: *S.Dale*\] #### Herbarium and types Dale owned an herbarium made by Ray: it was bequeathed by him with his own herbarium to the Apothecaries Company. Both herbaria were transferred to the [[Collection BM|BM]] in 1862. Dale's herbarium was rich in British plants, but included also some specimens collected in the Bahama Islands in 1730-1732 by Francis Dale, and some from South Carolina collected in 1730 by Thomas Dale. Several plants collected by the Dales were sent by him to Sloane, Buddie and Sherard. *Ref*.: IH 2: 151. - Kent, Brit. herbaria 50. 1953. - Dandy, The Sloane herbarium 122. 1958. - Clokie, Account herbaria Oxford 153. 1964. #### Bibliography and biography AG 6(2): 704; Barnhart 1: 412; BB p. 82; BM 1: 415; Bossert p. 92; DNB 13: 385; Jackson p. 199, 200; Langman p. 232; PR 2032. - Boulger, J.
