Biography
Lawyer in Jamaica. March lived at Spanish Town, where he had a fine garden. He sent specimens to Kew which have not since been found growing wild on the island and were therefore probably garden-grown. He also supplied insects to Charles Darwin via the naturalist Richard Hill, another resident of Jamaica, and birds to the Smithsonian Institution. March was Secretary to the Governor of Jamaica in 1868.
