Eminent botanist and Padma Shri awardee KS Manilal died on Wednesday due to age-related ailments. He was 86 years old. Family sources said that he was unwell for some time and breathed his last at a private hospital here.

 

Kattungal Subramanian Manilal, popularly known as KS Manilal. He was the former head of the Department of Botany at Calicut University. He has translated the ancient Latin book 'Hortus Malabaricus' into English and Malayalam.
