William Baxter (botanist)
- William Baxter (botanist)
William Baxter (died "c." 1836), was an English gardener who collected in Australia on behalf of English nurserymen and private individuals. His collections were made at Kangaroo Island (1822-1823), the southern coast of Western Australia (1823-1825), at King George Sound, Cape Arid and Lucky Bay, Twofold Bay, and Wilsons Promontory, Victoria (1826). The final expedition to Western Australia (1828-1829) was arranged by Charles Fraser. On his return they disagreed about the distribution of the collected material. The genus "Baxteria" was named in his honour. He is thought to have died about 1836.
