  • Robert Waring Darwin ( * Newark, Lincolnshire 17 de octubre 1724 – , Nottinghamshire, 4 de noviembre de 1816) fue un botánico británico. Era hijo de Robert Darwin of Elston (1682-1754), un abogado, y de Elizabeth Hill (1702-1797). Nunca se casó ni tuvo hijos, mas su sobrino el Dr. Robert Waring Darwin, hijo de Erasmus y padre del sabio Charles Darwin, tomó su apelativo, y no deben confundirse. En 1787 publica Principia Botanica (título completo: Principia Botanica or, a Concise and Easy Introduction to the Sexual Botany of Linnaeus), y en 1788, una introducción al sistema de taxonomía de Linneo. Su famoso sobrino nieto Charles anota, en su autobiografía (en inglés): El mayor de Robert, bautizado Robert Waring, le sucedió en el estate de Elston, y falleció allí a la edad de noventa y dos, siendo soltero. Tenía un fuerte gusto por la poesía, como su más joven hermano Erasmus, e infiero del más tarde escrito y dedicado volumen manuscrito de poemas juveniles a él, con las palabras, "Por aquellos ejemplos y acondicionamientos de mi mente fui directamente al estudio de la poética en mis más tempranos años". Los dos hermanos también tuvieron correspondencia en verso. Robert también cultivó la botánica, y, cuando ya era anciano, publicó su Principia Botanica. Este texto manuscrito estaba bellamente redactado, y mi padre [Dr. R.W. Darwin] declaró que creía que sería publicado pues su viejo tío no toleraría que tal fina caligrafía se estropeara. Per, más allá de estas trivialidades, la obra contenía muchas curiosas notas sobre biología — una temática ampliamente negada en Inglaterra en el último siglo. El público, apreció tal libro, y la copia en mi posesión es de la tercera edición.​ * La abreviatura «R.W.Darwin» se emplea para indicar a Robert Waring Darwin como autoridad en la descripción y clasificación científica de los vegetales.​ (es)
  • Robert Waring Darwin (1724–1816) of Elston Hall was an English botanist. He was the eldest son of Robert Darwin of Elston (1682–1754), a lawyer, and his wife Elizabeth Hill (1702–1797). His brothers were William Alvey Darwin (1726-1783), Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802), the poet, philosopher, physician, etc., and Rev. John Darwin (1730-1805), rector of Elston. He was baptized as a Christian. He never married and had no children, but his nephew Dr Robert Waring Darwin, son of Erasmus and father of Charles Darwin, took his name. He was educated at Chesterfield Grammar School, and St John's College, Cambridge although he apparently did not take a degree, but became a lawyer of Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn. He inherited Elston Hall on the death of his father in 1754. In 1787 he published Principia Botanica (full title: Principia Botanica or, a Concise and Easy Introduction to the Sexual Botany of Linnaeus), an introduction to the Linnean system of taxonomy. His famous great-nephew Charles notes, in his autobiography: The eldest son of Robert, christened Robert Waring, succeeded to the estate of Elston, and died there at the age of ninety-two, a bachelor. He had a strong taste for poetry, like his youngest brother Erasmus, as I infer from the later having dedicated an MS. volume of juvenile poems to him, with the words, "By whose example and encouragement my mind was directed to the study of poetry in my very early years". The two brothers also corresponded together in verse. Robert also cultivated botany, and, when an oldish man, he published his Principia Botanica. This book in MS. was beautifully written, and my father [Dr. R.W. Darwin] declared that he believed it was published because his old uncle could not endure that such fine calligraphy should be wasted. But this was hardly just, as the work contains many curious notes on biology — a subject wholly neglected in England in the last century. The public, moreover, appreciated the book, as the copy in my possession is the third edition. The standard author abbreviation R.W.Darwin is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. (en)
