Philip Miller fu un distinto botanico inglese il cui esteso lavoro presso il Chelsea Physic Garden coltivò una collezione ineguagliabile di piante da tutto il mondo. Rinomato per la sua eccezionale conoscenza della flora vivente, che gli valse l'ammissione alla Royal Society, Miller svolse un ruolo fondamentale nell'introduzione e nella coltivazione di numerose specie in Inghilterra per la prima volta. I suoi influenti scritti sull'orticoltura fecero progredire significativamente il campo, sebbene inizialmente mostrasse riluttanza ad adottare la nomenclatura binomiale di Linneo. L'eredità di Miller risiede nel suo profondo impatto sulla comprensione botanica e sull'orticoltura pratica.
