edit data

During circumnavigation of the globe from 1768 to 1771 with James Cook, noted British botanist Sir Joseph Banks collected and cataloged numerous specimens of plants and animals.

This first baronet, grand cross of Bath, fellow of royal society, and English naturalist patronized the natural sciences. He took part in first great voyage of captain. People credit Banks with the introduction to the western world of the eucalyptus, the acacia, and Banksia, the namesake genus. Eighty species bear name of Banks. Banks also led the founders of the African association, an organization dedicated to the exploration, and as a member of the society of Dilettanti helped to establish the royal academy.
