Charles Telfair
Charles Edward Telfair (1778 Belfast - 14 July 1833 Port Louis) was an Irish botanist.
==Early life and career==
Telfair was the son of a Belfast schoolmaster. He studied chemistry under Joseph Black and later qualified as a medical doctor. In 1797 he joined the Royal Navy and was soon appointed as ship's surgeon, visiting Mauritius and Réunion with the Navy in 1810. He returned to Mauritius in 1816 and established botanical gardens in Mauritius and Réunion. Having worked in several Government offices in Réunion, he was appointed personal secretary of Mauritius Governor Robert Farquhar. Telfair improved the education and housing of estate slaves, and found less strenuous occupations for elderly slaves. He was honorary curator of the botanical garden at Pamplemousses from 1826 to 1829. His old colonial château has now been turned into a restaurant, watercolours of local flora painted by Telfair’s wife Annabella Chamberlain, adorning the walls.
The Charles Telfair Institute in Mauritius, formerly known as DCDM Business School, was renamed after Charles Telfair.
