At the age of seven he went to England with his family but from January 1913 until 1931, apart from military service from 1916 to 1918, he worked on rubber plantations in Malaya.[1] From boyhood, Carr had been interested in orchids and from 1928 to 1932, he accompanied Richard Holttum, sometimes also Edred Corner on collecting expeditions to Mount Tahan, Berastagi, Lake Toba and other areas of Sumatra and spent several months on Mount Kinabalu.[1] In 1933 and 1934 he worked at the Kew Herbarium before travelling to New Guinea and spending several years collecting around Port Moresby, including the Kairuku-Hiri District. He collected in the New Guinea Highlands including in the Owen Stanley Range at altitudes up to {{convert|10000|ft|m|sigfig=1|abbr=on}}.[1] In 1936 he died of blackwater fever in Port Moresby. Following his death, more than 4,000 of his orchid collections and detailed descriptions of the specimens were given to the Singapore Herbarium.[2][3][4] The palm, Hydriastele carrii Burret, and the mistletoe genus, Cecarria Barlow, are named after him.[1][5] {{botanist|Carr|Cedric Errol Carr}}Publications(list incomplete)
