''General view of the botany of the vicinity of Swan River'' is an 1831 scientific paper by Scottish botanist Robert Brown. It discusses the vegetation of the Swan River Colony (in what is now Western Australia), and comments on its affinities with other regions. It has been described as "an essential step taken in our knowledge of the boundaries of the SW province".〔 ==Background== Brown's paper was based on information derived from three plant collections: the collection of botanist Charles Fraser, made during an 1827 expedition under James Stirling; a collection received by Brown from Alexander Macleay, Colonial Secretary of New South Wales; and a collection received by Brown from James Mangles. Brown had already made use of these and other collections in preparing his ''Supplementum primum Prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae'', published the previous year. In the course of his studies of Australian flora, he had prepared several manuscripts on the flora of the Swan River Colony: a list of plants of the Swan River Colony; a manuscript entitled ''Chloris Fluvii Cygni''; and another entitled ''Proteaceae in occident.-meridionale... King George's Sound and Middle Island... Swan River... Baie de Geograph''. During 1830, Brown helped established the Royal Geographical Society, sitting on the committee that drew up its constitution, and subsequently sitting on its inaugural council. He read his ''General view of the botany of the vicinity of Swan River'' at one of the first meetings of the society, on November 22, 1830, and it was printed the following year in the first volume of the society's ''Journal''.〔 In 1866 it was reprinted in John Joseph Bennett's ''The miscellaneous botanical works of Robert Brown''.
