H. H. Bloomer Award

The H. H. Bloomer Award is an award of the Linnean Society, established in 1963 from a legacy by the amateur naturalist Harry Howard Bloomer, which is awarded to "an amateur naturalist who has made an important contribution to biological knowledge."[1] The recipients, alternatively a botanist and a zoologist, are presented with a silver medal and a donation from the Fund.
