About Author

Henry Cranke Andrews

English botanist and horticulture Henry Cranke Andrews (1767–1830) was well-known for his knowledge of the study and management of heaths and other species. He was raised in London and worked as a nurseryman before moving to Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, where he was born. In London, he also joined the Linnean Society. "The Botanist's Repository","Coloured Engravings of Heaths," and "The Heathery," a five-volume monograph on the species Erica published between 1804 and 1808, are just a few of Andrews' famous works on plants. Additionally, he was a member of the Royal Horticultural Society, where he worked as the publication's editor for "Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London." Andrews was well-known for his charity activities and support of social concerns in addition to his contributions to the study and production of plants. He was a fervent supporter of the abolition of slavery and took part in the establishment of the African Institution, which encouraged African exploration and commerce while lending support to the abolitionist effort. The contributions Andrews made to the study and production of heaths and other plants are still honored today as a key figure in the history of botany and horticulture.
