K. Rangachari

Diwan Bahadur Kadambi Rangachari (September 1868– 10 May 1934) was an Indian botanist and ethnologist.

He was an editor for the seven-volume work on south Indian ethnography along with Edgar Thurston.

His father died early and Rangachari had to earn his living by giving private tuitions.

He served as acting superintendent for ethnography in 1901 and began to be involved in the seven-volume work on the Castes and Tribes of Southern India along with the British museologist Edgar Thurston.

In 1917 he presided over the botanical section of the Indian Science Congress at Bangalore and spoke on the flora of Tirunelveli.
