English botanical explorer and taxonomic cytologist employed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (1872-1880), where he wrote a number of scientific papers. He later joined the Mato Grosso prospecting expedition (1891-1892), collecting the specimens identified as Iter Matagrossense. He is usually cited as 'Spencer Moore' on the sheets and the original collection is at BM. Moore was then attached to the British Museum (Natural History) as a part-time Assistant and later an unofficial associate (1896-1931).
