He was the first person to receive the Victoria Medal of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1897. He is the author of ''Monograph of the Genus Lilium'' (1880), and ''Trees of Great Britain and Ireland'' (1906) with Augustine Henry, as well as numerous articles. He left a collection of 30,000 butterfly specimens to the Natural History Museum, including 11,370 specimens of Palaearctic butterflies.〔Salmon, M. A. (2000). ''The Aurelian Legacy'' – Britain's butterflies and their collectors. Harley Books, Colchester. ISBN 0-946589-40-2〕 ==Biography== Elwes was the eldest son of John Henry Elwes of Colesbourne Park near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. He was described as "a giant of a man, and a very dominating character".〔Riley, N. D. ''History of Department of Entomology'', p. 212.〕 with "a booming voice which carried well across his Gloucestershire estate, but was very disconcerting elsewhere"〔Stearn, W. T. ''Natural History Museum'', p. 212.〕 At 13, Elwes was sent to study at Eton College. After the age of 17 he spent at least part of every year abroad. He was sent to tutors in Paris, Brussels and Dresden before spending five years in the Scots Guards from 1865. He apparently did not take soldiering very seriously, being more interested in ornithology which in those days consisted of collecting specimens and eggs. He resigned his commission in 1869 and from that point onwards lived the life of a travelling naturalist and country gentleman. He visited various parts of the world studying aspects of natural history including ornithology, botany, entomology and big game.〔Anon (1923) Obituary: Henry John Elwes, F.R.S. The Geographical Journal 61(4):311〕 He combined horticulture with entomology and big game hunting with estate management and raising prize-winning show livestock, and sitting on the District council. He would later to ascribe his interest in plants to his wife, Margaret Lowndes, whom he married in 1871. His first garden was at Miserden, near Cirencester; he later moved to Preston House, Cirencester, before inheriting the Colesbourne estate on the death of his father in 1891. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry John Elwes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
