For Thomas Knowlton (1691–1781), English horticulturist, well known in his lifetime as a botanist and gardener with a special interest in nature, wildflowers and hothouse exotics. He was the director of the once famous botanical garden at Eltham. His life story, No Ordinary Gardener, was written by Blanche Henrey (British museum, 1896). He designed many gardens for the wealthy and collected and grew plants from around the world.
