Bidwill of Wide Bay: A Botanist Cut Short, Stuart Read , single work biography
'John Carne Bidwill was born in 1815 in England and died in Queensland in 1853. His short life is relevant to Australia’s garden history, botany, the horticultural use of Australian plants in European gardens and the colonial history of Sydney, New Zealand, Wide Bay and Maryborough. He may have been the first to introduce plant breeding into Australia. In a short life, and working in his spare time, he contributed more than many full-time and longer-lived horticulturists. This included discovering new species, crossing new hybrids (specific and inter-generic), and propagating and promulgating plants for the nursery trade and gardeners. His efforts are marked by his name gracing many Australian and New Zealand plants, exotic plant hybrids and modern suburbs of Sydney and Maryborough. This brief biography outlines Bidwill’s time in Australasia and Queensland.' [Source : Queensland Review, vol. 19, no. 1, p. 75]
