J. H. Lawrence-Archer

28 July 1823 - 14 February 1889

James Henry Lawrence Archer or Lawrence-Archer was a British soldier, collector of botanical specimens, and author best known for his guide to the Monumental Inscriptions of the British West Indies. A branch of the Archer family were resident first in Barbados and then in Jamaica.

Lawrence-Archer was gazetted second lieutenant in the 39th Regiment in 1840, later serving with the 24th Regiment during the Second Anglo-Sikh War from 1848 to 1849. He served with the 60th King's Royal Rifle Corps, being gazetted captain in 1855, and later holding the rank of major.

He collected botanical specimens during his military service, such as the seeds from China that he offered to William Jackson Hooker, director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, along with other botanical samples that he had personally collected in Mauritius, Anjer, Ascension and St Vincent.
