Sir James Edward Smith (1759–1828) was a botanist, fellow of the Royal Society, president of the Linnean Society, and author of enduring works on botany. Smith's easy, fluent style, happy illustration, extensive knowledge, and elegant scholarship, both in his lectures and in his writings, did much to popularise botany. (ODNB)
