Peter Taylor (botanist)

Peter Geoffrey Taylor (1926–2011) was a British botanist who worked at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew throughout his career in botany. Taylor was born in 1926 and joined the staff of the herbarium at Kew in 1948. He published his first new species, Utricularia pentadactyla, in 1954. In 1973, Taylor was appointed curator of the orchid division of the herbarium and, according to Kew, "under his direction, orchid taxonomy was revitalised and its horticultural contacts strengthened."^[1][2]

One of Taylor's main botanical focuses was the genus Utricularia. He has authored many species in the genus and provided the most comprehensive monograph on the genus in 1986 and revised in 1989.^[2]

The standard author abbreviation P.Taylor is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.^[3]
