威尔荪（厄内斯特·亨利·威尔逊 Ernest Henry Wilson 1876－1930）英国人。二十世纪初世界上著名的园艺学家、植物学家、探险家。威尔逊1899年至1911年间，曾4次来到中国，3次进入横断山域考察。威尔逊被西方称为“打开中国西部花园的人”，他一共收集了65000多份的植物标本（共计4500种植物），并将1593种植物种子和168种植物的切根带回了西方国家。他引种了大量的园林花卉植物，其中有60种以他的名字命名。

1913年，他出版了《一个博物学家在华西》（A Naturalist in Western China）这一有影响的著作，此书在1929年重版时易名为《中国：园林之母》（China Mother of Gardens）。1907年后，亨利·威尔逊他带着从沉重摄影器材，在交通极不发达的中国西部翻山越岭、拍摄了2000余幅珍贵的图片。在他拍摄的照片里，除他研究的植物花卉外，还有大量当时该区域的人文地理历史照片，这些照片为我们对横断山域的综合研究，提供了珍贵的资料。

In recognition of his service to horticulture he received many awards such as the Victoria Medal of Honour of the Royal Horticultural Society of London in 1912, the Veitch Memorial Medal, and the George Robert White Memorial Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. He was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and received an honorary M.A. degree from Harvard University and the D. Sc. degree from Trinity College (Connecticut).

Over 100 plants introduced by Wilson have received the First-Class Certificate or Awards of Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Sixty species and varieties of Chinese plants bear his name. In 1916-1917 Charles Sprague Sargent edited a partial list of his introductions as Plantae Wilsonianae.

The Ernest Wilson Memorial Garden is in the village of Chipping Campden.

In May 2010, a blue plaque was erected at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, by the Birmingham Civic Society, marking Wilson's time there.
