William Alexander Stables (1810 – 21 June 1890) was a Scottish botanist and naturalist who collected spermatophytes and pteridophytes sporadically in Great Britain and Ireland between 1832 and 1862, with the odd specimen as late as 1882. He was the son of Alexander Stables, factor for Lord Cawdor, and later himself became factor. He was a member of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh and collected extensively for a proposed Flora of Moray in the north of Scotland. In collecting he was often associated with Charles Bailey and William Lowndes Notcutt.

  • William Alexander Stables (1810 – 21 June 1890) was a Scottish botanist and naturalist who collected spermatophytes and pteridophytes sporadically in Great Britain and Ireland between 1832 and 1862, with the odd specimen as late as 1882. He was the son of Alexander Stables, factor for Lord Cawdor, and later himself became factor. He was a member of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh and collected extensively for a proposed Flora of Moray in the north of Scotland. In collecting he was often associated with Charles Bailey and William Lowndes Notcutt. The Compositae genus Scalesia was intended to commemorate the name 'Stables', but the taxonomist Arnott mistakenly cited his name as "W. Scales Esq., Cawdor Castle, Elginshire", discovering his error only after publication in 1836, and noting in the margin of his description "His name is Stables - what a blunder!!!". And so the error remained. He was President of the Nairnshire Farming Society for four terms between 1836 and 1866, while his father served as President in 1828. On 19 May 1815 "a Savings Bank was established at Cawdor, with Mr Stables, factor for Lord Cawdor, as treasurer", referring to Stables' father. (en)
