Born in 1806 in Chelsea, Pamplin was the son of William Pamplin (1768–1844), a nurseryman.[1][2]
Pamplin wrote for the Magazine of Natural History, and became editor of The Phytologist, owned by John Hunneman. Pamplin married his daughter Caroline, and took over the magazine.[2][4] He distributed two exsiccata-like series, namely Flora Dalmatica and Vicinity of Adelaide 1846.[5]
Pamplin was also involved with the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt.[6]
The standard author abbreviation Pamplin is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[7]
