George Charles Deering, born Georg Karl Dering (or perhaps Döring) in Dresden about 1690, practised as a physician in Nottingham from 1735 until his death in 1749. He was the author of an early flora covering the environs of Nottingham (1738) utilizing John Ray's nomenclature, and a posthumously published historical account of Nottingham (1751). He studied in Leiden under Herman Boerhaave and in Paris with the Jussieu brothers, and had close connections with Johann Jacob Dillenius and John Martyn the elder. Notable features of his flora are discussed, including the people with whom he worked, his first records of plants in England, and his early mention of phenology.
