Information About

Philip Barker Webb




Webb collected plants in Italy , Spain and Portugal , and was the first person to collect in the Tetuan Mountains of Morocco . En route to Brazil he made what was intended to be a brief visit to the Canary Islands , but he ended up stopping for a considerable time. The results can be seen in the nine-volume ''L'Histoire Naturelle des Iles Canaries'', which he coauthored with Sabin Berthelot .

Webb's Herbarium was bequeathed to the Natural History Museum in Florence .
