Charles Edward Moss

South african botanist (1870-1930).

Charles Edward Moss (February 7, 1870 Hyde, Cheshire, England – November 11, 1930 Johannesburg, South Africa), was an English-born South African botanist, the youngest son of a nonconformist minister, and the editor of the first two parts of The Cambridge British Flora published in 1914 and 1920. The Cambridge British Flora, under the editorship of Moss, was intended to be a ten-volume survey of the flora of Britain, with contributions by specialists in particular genera. After two volumes the project was abandoned.
