George (1939-), Botanist initially at the Western Australian Herbarium, then Executive Editor of the "Flora of Australia" in Canberra, and more recently self-employed in Perth, who has had a lifelong interest in Western Australian orchids, and whose check list of the Orchidaceae of Western Australia (1971) and other publications have been seminal in modern work on these plants. Alex named the genera Elythranthera and Leporella, as well as eleven new species or varieties of Western Australian orchids, and grew up in the Fremantle area where Caladenia georgei still may be found."
