Review : Lost in plants

George Caley was a botanist who pioneered studies of Australia鈥檚 flora
between 1800 and 1810. He is now mainly remembered as the leader of a failed
expedition into the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. Joan Webb鈥檚 biography,
George Caley: 19th Century Naturalist (Surrey Beatty & Sons, A$37.95,
ISBN 0 949324 62 0), attempts to restore his reputation. She says Caley鈥檚
eccentricity contributed to this lack of recognition鈥攈e was so preoccupied
with cataloguing and preserving his specimens that he never published any
results.
