Archibald Sim Montgomrey

Archibald Sim Montgomrey (1843 - 1922) was a wholesale timber merchant, county councillor and magistrate and amateur plant collector in Britain and other parts of the world.

[3] He was involved with the funding and development of many public buildings in Brentford, including a hospital, library, fire station, Anglican church and schools.

His specimens from Britain included trees, shrubs, ferns, grasses and herbaceous plants, many from south east England.

[1] His records of adder's-tongue spearwort (Ranunculus ophioglossifolius) at Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, indicated the importance of the site, which became a nature reserve in 1933.

He communicated with other plant collectors including John Wilton Haines, Thomas Alfred Dymes, Harry Joseph Riddelsdell and Lucy Jones James.
