Re: Anyone knows CX Furtado, botanist?) The Furtados have been longstanding residents of Singapore - well established and well respected. Caetano Xavier dos Remedios Furtado is certainly credited for the development of Botany in Singapore and Malaysia. He was clearly well ahead of his time. As far as I am aware, only 2 siblings remain in Singapore. I met with Fatima quite recently and am happy to say that I delivered two of Carlos' children.
