William Roch's bar

William Roxburgh (William Roxburgh FRSE FRCPE FLS, from June 29, 1751 to April 10, 1815) is a Scottish doctor, botanist. I studied the plant, weather of India for many years.

Life

I was born in Underwood of the clay Guy parish of Ayrshire. I learned medicine in Edinburgh University. I became the assistant of the ship's doctor of the East India Company at the age of 17 years old and went on a voyage twice in Asia. I learned the botany with John hope in Edinburgh University. I joined the Madras medical care group (Madras Medical Service) as Mr. doctor in 1780. The interest turned in botany from medicine in Madras, and the East India Company appointed it for the supervision of the Samalkot garden of Northern Circars in acknowledgment of the knowledge of his plant in 1781. I let Roxburgh employed a local painter and draw a plant image, and the number became 700 by 1790. I poured the back of the Patrick raschel (Patrick Russell) and became a natural historian of the East India Company. Deepened knowledge, and the evaluation increased and, in place of the founder of the Calcutta botanical garden, General Robert kid, undertook the management of the botanical garden for a while. I became the supervisor of the garden of the East India Company of Sibpur close to Kolkata following the next of the Robert kid in 1793. I published plant catalogue "Bengal botanical garden" (Hortus Bengalensis) of the garden in 1814 and sent many plant images to Joseph Bankes.

I collect local enormous weather data and am a pioneer of the weather data collection of the tropics for many years. I recorded a barometer, the data of the thermometer since arrival three times in Madras on a day. John hope of the teachers of Roxburgh was a meteorological researcher, too and was affected by the weather theory of influence and Steven Hale and the Henri = Louis Duhamel デュ mon so (Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau) of the teacher. I deepened recognition about the influence of the climate change and famine of India from a longtime observation result.

I was chosen as a member of Asia Society and often contributed a high article of the value to a bulletin. There are an insect covering up health with kino, an article about ラックカイガラム in that.

For 1,803 years, I won a gold medal for the achievement from three times of 1814, association of academic promotion in the U.K. (Society for the Promotion of Arts) in 1805. After receiving a prize of 1814, I returned to Edinburgh and died in Edinburgh. Posthumously, William·"Indian plant (Dr. William Roxburgh's Flora Indica; or Descriptions of Indian Plants) of the Roxburgh doctor" was published by Carey.

Roxb. is used to show William Roxburgh when I show an author by the scientific name of the plant. (I search Author Details in /IPNI reading an author sketchy description.)
