Cape Wiles in South Australia on Sleaford Bay (the site of a proposed $80 million seawater desalination plant) was named after botanist, James Wiles, who was a voyager, gardener, and a plantation owner.
Cape Wiles was named by Matthew Flinders on 19 February 1802 after James Wiles, a botanist whom he described as "a worthy friend at Liguanea, in Jamaica", along with the nearby Liguanea Island.
