According to Wikipedia, Edward Lhuyd was a Welsh naturalist, botanist, herbalist, alchemist, scientist, linguist, geographer and antiquary. He is also named in a Latinate form as Eduardus Luidius.

His family belonged to the gentry of south-west Wales. Though well-established, the family was not wealthy.
