Philip Miller

**Philip Miller** (1691 London – 18. detsember 1771 Chelsea, London) oli šoti päritolu inglise aednik ja botaanik. Tema botaaniline autorilühend on **Mill.**.

Ta oli Londonis asuva Chelsea Physic Gardeni peaaednik alates 1722. aastast. Miller oli kirjavahetuses paljude botaanikutega ja kogus taimi üle maailma. Ta oli paljude taimede esmakasvataja Inglismaal ja üks riigi paremaid taimetundjaid. 1730. aastal valiti ta Londoni Kuningliku Seltsi liikmeks.

1733. aastal saatis ta esimesed puuvillapõõsa seemned Ameerikasse Georgiasse.

Miller oli kaua vastu Carl von Linné binaarsele nomenklatuurile ning eelistas Joseph Pitton de Tourneforti ja John Ray klassifikatsioonisüsteemi. Alles 1768. aastal ilmunud "Aedniku sõnaraamatu" 8. trükis võttis ta Linné süsteemi üle.

"The Gardener and Botanist's Dictionary: Containing the Best and Newest ..." (1807) teoses on sissekanne *[[Salisburia adiantifolia]]*, autoriks Smith, ja *[[Gingko biloba]]* Lin. Milleri sissekande kohaselt (sarnaneb James Edward Smithi ettekandega) peaks perekond asetsema Linné süsteemis *[[Quercus]]*-e ja *[[Juglans]]*-i vahel. De Jussieu süsteemis peaks see kuuluma *[[Taxus]]*-e järel *[[Coniferae]]* seltsi olemata lähedas suguluses ühegagi neist. Smith olevat eelistanud, kuna *biloba* on ebakorrektne, nimeks *adiantifolia*'t (seda viimast on kasutanud Kaempfer ja Thunberg ning see on antud juhul eriti sobilik). Nimetus *Gingko* on *uncouth* ja barbaarne, aga Linné pani selle lisasse ootele, kuni õisi näha saab, misjärel võiks liik saada süsteemis oma õige koha.
