Henry Cranke Andrews est un botaniste et illustrateur britannique, floruit en 1794 et mort vers 1830. Étant donné qu’il a toujours publié sous le nom de « Henry C. Andrews », et en raison de la difficulté à trouver des documents, le C. a souvent été interprété comme Charles, jusqu'à la découverte du registre de son mariage en 2017[1],[2].

Biographie

On ne sait que peu de choses de la vie d’Andrews. Il est d’origine modeste et ses connaissances en botanique sont assez réduites. Il vit longtemps à Knightsbridge et est marié à la fille de John Kennedy de Hammersmith, un pépiniériste qui l’aide dans les descriptions publiées dans The Botanist’s Repository. La date de sa mort n’est pas connue avec précision. Il serait mort en 1835 à 76 ans[2] et donc serait né vers 1759[1].

Il commence à faire paraître The Botanist’s Repository en 1797, publication rivale du Botanical Magazine. Il commence à travailler en 1794 sur une vaste monographie sur les bruyères. Ses Heathery paraissent en six volumes de 1804 à 1812. Ses Roses, travail d’une importance équivalente, paraissent de 1805 à 1828. Toutes les planches, au total près de 300, sont dessinées, gravées et peintes à la main par Andrews lui-même. Il se charge également de la plupart des légendes.

Hommage

Gentiana andrewsii a été nommée en son honneur par August Heinrich Rudolf Grisebach en 1839.
