R. Sweet was a gardener and botanist who was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1812. He was born at Cockington in Devon but soon moved to the London area. He became a nurseryman successively at Stockwell 1810-1815, Fulham 1815-1819 and Chelsea 1819-1826. In he 1824 was accused of receiving stolen plants from the royal gardens at Kew. After a well-publicized trial Sweet was acquitted, but ended his career as hybridist.. Between 1823-30 he began to edit and publish botanical works. In this important treatise on Geraniums, he used Edwin Dalton Smith as his artist as he had in his earlier works including the Flower Garden, and the Flora Australisca. The genus Sweetia was named in his honour following his death - precipitated by a brain fever - at Chelsea. Ref: Great flower book 141pp. Nissen 1929.
