About the author
Born in Porto on December 31, 1861, Eduardo Henrique Vieira Coelho de Sequeira was a Portuguese naturalist, herpetologist, botanist, and journalist. He is often referred to simply as Eduardo Sequeira, and Portuguese-language reference sources identify him as an active figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
He is best remembered today for Lendas dos Vegetaes, a work that helped carry his name into digital libraries and public-domain collections. The surviving bibliographic record around him is fairly slim, but it consistently connects his writing to an interest in plants, natural history, and accessible scientific culture.
Sequeira died in Porto on November 30, 1914. Even with limited biographical detail available online, his work still offers a glimpse of a writer who moved easily between journalism, science, and literary curiosity.
