This article seems too short and a very minor character. I do not understand why it justifies an article. It is at best a stub

Further it is simply regurgitating in formation on the Darwin Project website

The article consists of six sentences at this time, and offers useful information about a botanist who assisted Darwin. It is a useful, brief biography. Prospects for expanding the article are very good. A search for sources is complicated by the fact that the name is very common. It is just a matter of separating the wheat from the chaff.
