"The Age of Wonder" by Richard Holmes which contains several chapters on Joseph Banks has the advantage of being more widely available and covering a wider set of characters from the same period.

A generation before, Mark Catesby produced a similar body of work on the new worlds of North America, including Virginia and Carolina.

Very interesting stepping off point if you are getting into all (or any) things Linnaean.

Interesting historical fact was Banks originally envisioned that the Australian colony at Botany Bay should become one big marijuana farm to supply the Brish market demand for hemp.
