25.0 x 18.5cms, 214pp, b/w illusts, very good hardback & dustwrapper (sunned spine) Peter Good (unknown, died 12 June 1803) was Robert Brown's gardener assistant on the HMS Investigator during which the coast of Australia was charted, and various plants collected. Good had worked as a foreman at Kew Royal Gardens, during which time he helped Christopher Smith transport a shipment of English plants to Calcutta. He was working as a kitchen gardener at Wemyss Castle, Scotland, when Joseph Banks appointed him as gardener to Brown. Good made an extensive seed collection during the voyage. He died of dysentery in Sydney and his plant collection was incorporated into Brown'S. Brown admired his work ethic, and named the plant genus Goodia & Banksia goodii (Good's Banksia) after him.
