Charles Alfred Barber
Charles Alfred Barber C.I.E. (10 November 186023 February 1933) was a British botanist and specialist on sugarcane, who worked for much of his life in southern India. ''Saccharum barberi'', a species of sugarcane that grows wild in northern India is named after him. He was a pioneer in the nobilization of wild canes in India, by producing hybrids between wild and hardy local species and the high-sugar-yielding cultivated ''Saccharum officinarum'' that could survive the cold winters of northern India.
