  • Sir Arthur William Hill KCMG FRS FLS (11 October 1875, in Watford – 3 November 1941, in Richmond) was Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and a noted botanist and taxonomist. The only son of Daniel Hill, he attended Marlborough College where his interest in natural history was encouraged by the classical master and entomologist, Edward Meyrick. Hill went on to King's College, Cambridge, where he came under the influence of Marshall Ward and Walter Gardiner, acquiring an MA and DSc. His numerous field trips started with the expedition of the English geographer, William Bisiker FRGS, to Iceland in 1900. This was followed by exploration of the Andes in Bolivia and Peru in 1903, sparking an interest in cushion plants which was to last throughout his life, and the Caribbean in 1911. In 1907 he joined Kew as Assistant Director under Sir David Prain, and started contributing to the floras of Africa and India. In 1922 he succeeded Prain as Director. With grants from the Empire Marketing Board, Hill was able to send botanists all over the world, himself visiting Australia, New Zealand, Malaya, Rhodesia, East Africa, India, Cyrenaica and the West Indies. His interests were not confined to taxonomy, but extended to Economic Botany, of which he was an enthusiastic proponent, and all the other activities of Kew. He managed a large number of changes in the Gardens, despite having to operate in the post-war austerity climate. Some of his greatest successes were in building, renovating, and extending glasshouses, being responsible for the new Rhododendron House in 1925–26, an improved Economic House in 1930 and the South African Succulent House in 1936. He was elected an Honorary Member of the Royal Society of New Zealand during his 1928 visit, returning to London to lecture the Linnaean Society in 1929 on natural hybrids in New Zealand. He published a joint paper with Brian Laurence Burtt in 1935 on the cushion plant genera Gaultheria and Pernettya (now included in Gaultheria) from alpine habitats in Asia, North and South America, and Australasia. Hill never married and died on 3 November 1941 in a riding accident. The standard author abbreviation A.W.Hill is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. (en)

  • Sir Arthur William Hill, född 11 oktober 1875 i Watford, död 3 november 1941 i Richmond, London, var en brittisk botaniker som var föreståndare för Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Arthur William var den ende sonen till affärsmannen Daniel Hill och påbörjade sin utbildning vid Marlborough College 1890, där han fick ett intresse för studier i naturhistoria av sin lärare entomologen Edward Meyrick. Han fortsatte därefter 1894 vid King's College, Cambridge under och och avlade Bachelor of Arts 1897, Master of Arts 1901 samt Doctor of Science 1919. Han deltog i William Bisikers expedition till Island 1900 och företog en självfinansierad resa till Anderna i Bolivia och Peru 1903 (vilket tände ett intresse för kuddväxter som kom att vara livet ut). 1907 lämnade Hill Cambridge och tog en post som biträdande föreståndare för Kew Gardens under David Prain, där han utvecklade trädgårdens världsomspännande nätverk av medarbetare, och när Prain avgick 1922 tog han över posten som föreståndare. Hill nöjde sig inte med att studera växterna i herbarier, utan föredrog att studera dem i fält. Han kom härigenom (speciellt efter bidrag från Empire Marketing Board från 1927 till 1933 som befrämjade resandet för Kew Gardens personal) att besöka framför allt en stor del av det Brittiska imperiet: Västindien 1912 och 1919, Kamerun och Nigeria 1921, USA och Kanada 1926, Australien, Nya Zeeland, Java, Malaya och Ceylon 1927, södra och östra Afrika 1930-1931, Indien 1938 samt, slutligen, Libyen 1939, förutom att han ofta besökte olika platser i Europa. Hill blev invald som Fellow of the Royal Society 1920 samt utnämndes 1926 till "companion" och därefter 1931 till "knight commander" av Sankt Mikaels och Sankt Georgsorden. Han avled genom en ridolycka på Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club i Old Deer Park, Richmond.
