Best Answer

There was no specific botanist who travelled with the First Fleet. The First Fleet should not be confused with the journey of James Cook up the eastern coast of Australia, when he named the land New South Wales and claimed it for England.

Sir Joseph Banks was the English botanist who sailed with Cook, and after whom the banksia species of plant was named. There were also the Swedish and Finnish botanists, Daniel Solander and Dr Herman Spöring.

These botanists travelled with Cook on his first voyage from 1768 to 1771, where he encountered New Zealand and the eastern coastline of Australia.
