Philip Barker Webb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philip Barker Webb (July 10, 1793 - August 31, 1854) was an English botanist.

Webb collected plants in Italy, Spain and Portugal, and was the first person to collect in the Tetuan Mountains of Morocco. En route to Brazil he made what was intended to be a brief visit to the Canary Islands, but he ended up stopping for a considerable time. The results can be seen in the nine-volume L'Histoire Naturelle des Iles Canaries, which he coauthored with Sabin Berthelot.

Webb's herbarium was bequeathed to the Museo di Storia Naturale di Firenze in Florence, Italy.
