Arthur Stanley Grove FLS VMH (July 22, 1864[1] – February 2, 1942, Richmond, Surrey[2]) was a British botanist and expert on the genus Lilium and a writer on gardening and horticulture for the popular press.
He made a life-long study of lilies, maintained a wide interest in gardening, and for many years was the chief horticultural contributor to The Times.
[3] From March 1877 to May 1880, Taylor & Francis published in seven parts the classic Monograph of the Genus Lilium, written by Henry John Elwes (with some assistance from John Gilbert Baker) and illustrated by Walter Hood Fitch.
In 1922, Elwes, elderly and in declining health, asked his friend Arthur Grove to produce a comprehensive supplement.
The first seven parts of the supplement were published between July 1933 and February 1940, with 30 hand-coloured lithographed plates, all except two by Lilian Snelling (1879–1972).
