William Lobb



William Lobb (1809 – 3 May 1864) was a Cornish plant collector, employed by Veitch Nurseries of Exeter, who was responsible for the commercial introduction to England of Araucaria araucana (the ""Monkey-Puzzle"" tree) from Chile and the massive Sequoiadendron giganteum (""Wellingtonia"") from North America.He and his brother, Thomas Lobb, were the first collectors to be sent out by the Veitch nursery business, with the primary commercial aim of obtaining new species and large quantities of seed. His introductions of the Monkey-Puzzle tree, ""Wellingtonia"" and many other conifers to Europe earned him the sobriquet ""messenger of the big tree"". In addition to his arboreal introductions, he also introduced many garden shrubs and greenhouse plants to Victorian Europe, including Desfontainia spinosa and Berberis darwinii, which are still grown today.
