Charles Deering

Charles Deering, (1695–1749), was a German botanist who lived and worked in England. He was an acquaintance of both Sloane and their mutual friend J. Dillenius. He was also a physician who developed a successful method of treating smallpox, but he ended up in poverty due to his short temper.
