George Watt

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Sir George Watt (1851-1930) was a professor of botany, reporter and editor.

His 'Dictionary of the Commercial Products of India' (1889-90) in ten volumes is perhaps the greatest compilation of commercial plants in India ever achieved, in terms of the range and depth. The compilation includes description of non-agricultural plants.
