Thomas Lobb
Thomas Lobb (1817–1894) was a British botanist and, along with his older brother, William Lobb, collected plants for the plant nursery Veitch.
Lobb worked in India, Indonesia and the Philippines. In 1845 he discovered the first orchid species of the genus ''Phalaenopsis'' growing in the eastern Himalayas, at an altitude of ~. This plant, ''Phalaenopsis lobbii'', is named in his honour.
==Early life==
He was born and raised in Perranarworthal and Egloshayle, near Wadebridge where his father John worked as an estate carpenter at Pencarrow and gamekeeper at Carclew estate, for Sir Charles Lemon. Both brothers, despite varying accounts (neither wrote an autobiography), worked in the stovehouse. Both brothers were encouraged in study of horticulture and botany. Thomas moved to join the Veitch family at Killerton in 1830, aged 13. The Veitch Nurseries moved to Exeter in 1832 and Thomas suggested his brother William as the nursery's first plant hunter in 1840.
