Reginald John Farrer (1880–1920), was a traveller and plant collector. In 1913 he published The Dolomites: King Laurin's Garden, which deals with plant hunting in the Italian Dolomites and at this time Farrer travelled widely in the mountains of Italy, France and Switzerland, walking and climbing with gardener friends, including fellow plantsman E.A. Bowles.
