James Anderson FRSE (17 January 1738, Long Hermiston, Midlothian - 6 August 1809, Garden House, by Madras, India)[1] was a Scottish physician and botanist.
He was the son of Andrew Anderson, physician in Long Hermiston.[2] He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh.[2]
He was company surgeon for the East India Company from 1786 and physician-general in Madras from 1800.[1]
He wrote about his experiences of culture in the South of India.
He published Varnish and Tallow-trees in 1791 and Culture of Bastard Cedar Trees on Coast of Coromandel in 1794. He was a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. William Roxburgh (1751–1815) named the genus Andersonia after him.
