Etymology of Crabbea:
For George Crabbe (1754–1832), English doctor, minister, poet and amateur botanist. He served his apprenticeship and became a surgeon-apothecary in 1775; subsequently, he moved to London to become a writer. In 1782 he was ordained a priest, finishing his career as rector of Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Crabbe was a highly prolific poet and author (admired by Thomas Hardy for his realistic, unsentimental views) but destroyed much of his work. According to his son George Jr in The Life of George Crabbe (1834), his father destroyed his Essay on Botany in English because an academic criticised him for compiling it in a modern language. But for this, he wrote, ‘[M]y father might perhaps have had the honour of being considered as the first discoverer of more than one addition to the British flora.’
