Harry Keith
Henry George Keith (1899–1982), known as Harry Keith, was a British forester and plant collector.[1][2]
Keith is credited with starting the process of large-scale conservation of the forests of North Borneo (now Sabah).[3][4]
In 1984, a new species of Rafflesia endemic to Sabah, Rafflesia keithii, was named in his honour.[2][5] Keith was the husband of author Agnes Newton Keith. The couple had two children: a son (Henry George Newton Keith) and a daughter (Jean).
