Who was Arthur Broughton?
Arthur Broughton was an English botanist.
Broughton took the degree of doctor in medicine at Edinburgh in 1779, then published a volume of brief diagnoses of British plants anonymously, and subsequently settled in Jamaica, where he died in 1796, judging from certain notes in Wiles's edition of the Hortus Eastensis. His name is preserved in the genus of orchids named Broughtonia by Robert Brown.
