Biography
botanical artist, botanist and teacher, was born at Norwich, Norfolk (England) in April 1803. He came to Sydney in 1842 where he worked as a teacher, studying botany in his spare time and collecting specimens for overseas museums. He was a friend of the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt and is said to have helped prepare Leichhardt’s Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia (London 1847) for the press. Phillips was a competent botanical artist, as is evident from the pictorial annotations in his copy of Brown’s Flora Novae Hollandiae . He is reported to have made the 'excellent’ botanical drawings which the government botanist, Charles Moore, used to illustrate a series of lectures he gave at the Sydney Botanic Gardens in the 1850s. Phillips died at Sydney in June 1871. This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography. Writers: Staff Writer Date written: 1992 Last updated: 2011
