John Bellenden Ker Gawler

John Bellenden Ker, originally John Gawler was an English botanist born about 1764 in Ramridge, Andover, Hampshire and died in June 1842 in the same town. On 5 November 1804 he changed his name to Ker Bellenden, but continued to sign his name as Bellenden Ker until his death. His son was the legal reformer Charles Henry Bellenden Ker.
He is noted for having written ''Recensio Plantarum'' (1801), ''Select Orchideae'' (c.1816) and ''Iridearum Genera'' (1827). He edited Edward's Botanical Register from 1815 to 1824 and was famous as a wit and botanist as well as being the author of ''Archaeology of Popular Phrases and Nursery Rhymes'' (1837).〔http://books.google.com/books?id=C00oAAAAMAAJ&dq=〕 The 2nd volume of this work was published in 1840.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=nW4SAAAAIAAJ&dq=〕 Robert Brown (1773–1858) named the genus Bellendena of the Proteaceae in his honour in 1810. The state of Queensland in Australia has named its second highest peak Mount Bellenden Ker - it is also the wettest known locality in Australia. The Bellenden Ker Range in the same area was also named after him.
His work on English nursery rhymes argued in four volumes that they were actually written in 'Low Saxon', a hypothetical early form of Dutch. He then 'translated' them back into English, revealing particularly a strong tendency to anti-clericalism.〔H. Carpenter and M. Prichard, ''The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature'' (Oxford University Press, 1984), p. 290.〕
The Siberian lily which occurs in eastern Siberia and Asia was named ''Lilium pensylvanicum'' by Ker Gawler who had mistaken its origins. A few years later, realising his error, he renamed it ''L. dauricum'', after a region in Siberia. Modern botanical nomenclature, however, is inflexible in these matters and the prior name stands.〔(MBG: Research: Russia: Ornamental plants from Russia )〕
