Philip Miller fut un botaniste anglais éminent dont le travail considérable au Chelsea Physic Garden cultiva une collection inégalée de plantes du monde entier. Réputé pour sa connaissance exceptionnelle de la flore vivante, qui lui valut d'être élu membre de la Royal Society, Miller joua un rôle essentiel dans l'introduction et la culture de nombreuses espèces en Angleterre pour la première fois. Ses écrits influents sur l'horticulture firent progresser considérablement le domaine, bien qu'il montrât initialement une réticence à adopter la nomenclature binomiale de Linné. L'héritage de Miller réside dans son profond impact sur la compréhension botanique et l'horticulture pratique.
