Before joining the Herbarium he received Walter and Eliza Hall fellowship which allowed him to undertake botanical collecting expeditions to Western Queensland (1935 - 1937). He also carried out a special survey of potential rubber-producing plants in Queensland in 1939. Blake specialised in the taxonomy of tropical and subtropical grasses and Cyperaceae, Eucalyptus Idiospermaceae, Plectranthus and Melaleuca. He named one of the non-Australian eucalypts, Eucalyptus urophylla, which grows in Indonesia. Blake published extensively in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland and was a major contributor to the Contributions from the Queensland Herbarium. He was President of both the Royal Society of Queensland and the Queensland Naturalists' Club, and a life member of the National Parks Association. The Queensland Herbarium holds over 17,000 of his specimens. 1932 1932 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of Queensland 1934 1934 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of Queensland 1935 1937 Career position - Walter and Eliza Hall Fellow gathering material for a comprehensive account of the plant communities of Western Queensland 1939 1939 Career position - Special survey of potential rubber-producing plants in Queensland 1941 1941 Career position - President, Queensland Naturalists' Club 1942 1951 Career position - Editor, Queensland naturalist 1945 1973 Career position - Botanist (later Senior Botanist), Queensland Herbarium 1946 1947 Career position - Botanist, CSIRO Northern Australia Regional Survey 1953 1953 Taxonomy event - Eucalyptus porrecta S.
