Flora sinensis is one of the first natural history books on China by a European. Authored by Michał Piotr Boym, it was published in 1656 by Matthæi Rictii in Vienna. Boym dedicated it to Leopold I (1640-1705), Holy Roman Emperor, King of Hungary and Croatia, King of Bohemia and King of Serbia, and included a poem incorporating chronograms alluding to his coronation date, 1655. Augustin Pyramus, a Swiss Botanist, identified Boym as the first person to use ‘flora’ to define the plants of a particular region, habitat or geological period. Alexander Braun. Alexander Carl Heinrich Braun (10 May 1805 – 29 March 1877) was a German botanist from Regensburg, Bavaria.
His research centered on the morphology of plants. Biography[edit] He studied botany in Heidelberg, Paris and Munich. In 1833 he began teaching botany at the Polytechnic School of Karlsruhe, staying there until 1846. Volume of drawings by Father Camelli from 1701 of Philippine plants sent to James Petiver. The George Clifford Herbarium. Herbier Commerson. La technique de l’herbier pour conserver des plantes fut inventée en Italie vers 1530-1540.
Elle se répandit rapidement parmi les botanistes et gagna en popularité au fil du temps. Aujourd’hui encore, ceux que l’on désignait autrefois comme des Hortus siccus (jardins secs) ou Hortus hiemalis (jardins d’hiver) sont des outils indispensables à la taxonomie botanique moderne. Les feuilles rassemblées vers 1754 dans cet herbier ont été récoltées par le botaniste Philibert Commerson, qui fut à Montpellier, ville où il reçut sa formation de médecin, l’élève de François Boissier de Sauvages (1706 – 1767) auteur d’une flore permettant l’identification des plantes des alentours de Montpellier en ne prenant en considération que la forme de leurs feuilles. Bien que dépourvu d’informations précises sur les lieux ou les dates de récolte, ce magnifique herbier relié de feuilles illustre à merveille la diversité du monde végétal.

Peter Forsskal, explorer, Linneus apostle, natural scientist and advocate of freedom of expression * Mikael Strandberg. The Worst Journey In The World by Apsley Cherry Garrard is by many, especially English speakers, rated as the best book on adventure and exploration ever written.
I have agreed on that for years until I recently read Thorkild Hansens book Arabia Felix about the Carsten Neibuhr Expedition who first described Yemen and Expedition life as it is, in the year of 1763. It has everything as regards to adventure and exploration and is a must read. One of the most faschinating details of this book is the human relations within the group. Especially the one between the worst nightmare for any Expedition, the Dane Von Haven, and the Swede Peter Forsskål. Both died.

René Just Haüy (French pronunciation: [aɥi]) FRS MWS FRSE (28 February 1743 – 3 June 1822) was a French priest and mineralogist, commonly styled the Abbé Haüy after he was made an honorary canon of Notre Dame.
Due to his innovative work on crystal structure and his four-volume Traité de Minéralogie (1801), he is often referred to as the "Father of Modern Crystallography".[1] During the French revolution he also helped to establish the metric system.

Hermann Herbarium. The Paul Hermann Herbarium. Henri Van Heurck. Van Heurck was manager of the family business (a paint and varnish factory) and professor in chemistry at the Industrial High School in Antwerp.
As a self-made botanist, he firstly studied, together with other naturalists, the flora surrounding Antwerp. He carried out pioneering work in microscopy, and later became famous for his research on diatoms. He was active in the foundation of several natural history societies (such as Antwerpsch Kruidkundig Genootschap, Société phytologique d’Anvers and the Société Royale de Botanique de Belgique). His scientific merits were recognized by the University of Rostock, Germany (Doctor hon. c. 1869). He convinced the municipality of Antwerp to establish a Botanic Garden and became its director.
Biography: E. Elmar Robbrecht, Dec 2007. Paul Hiepko (1932–2019) Paul Hiepko (Fig. 1) passed away on 2 July 2019 at the age of 86 in Potsdam. He was a retired Director at the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin (BGBM) and the man who had planned the modern facilities of this institution's herbarium. In addition he had been a longtime co-editor of Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie and of Bibliotheca Botanica as well as a world authority on Opiliaceae and Olacaceae. From 1965 until his retirement in 1997 he was a member of staff of the BGBM who continued to work and publish until his final years leaving behind a considerable scientific oeuvre of consistently high quality and covering a broad spectrum of topics.
The early years PH was born on 16 December 1932 as the fifth child to Gustav Hiepko and his wife Lina, née Jennes, in Quedlinburg, a town in the Harz region well-known as a centre of horticulture, in particular for the production of seed material. Fig. 1. The meagre years Meagre years followed.
Paul Isert. Dans le mouvement des grandes découvertes scientifiques du XVIIIe siècle, l’Afrique occidentale est restée marginale. Alors que peu de naturalistes y ont séjourné, le médecin et botaniste allemand Paul Erdmann Isert est aujourd’hui considéré comme un pionnier de l’exploration botanique de cette région. Another botanical William Jack. One of the most talented Scottish surgeon-botanists ever to have worked in Asia was the Aberdonian William Jack (1795–1822), who, before succumbing to fever aged only 27, acted as physician and naturalist to Sir Stamford Raffles. Raffles had met the young prodigy through Nathaniel Wallich, while Jack was recuperating at the Calcutta Botanic Garden from an earlier illness caught in the Nepal Terai.
Jacquin. Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin's letters to Linnaeus. Nikolaus Joseph Baron von Jacquin: A botanist, an 18th century collector and a pen pal to Linnaeus Published on 5th March 2021 This month’s treasure is not a single object, but a collection of letters written to Linnaeus by Nikolaus* Joseph Baron von Jacquin. I have chosen this collection of almost 100 letters from the perspective of someone who has spent a significant amount of her time in lockdown cleaning up metadata for the Society’s Online Collections.
I have been working primarily on Linnaeus’ correspondence, which has involved checking the records of over 4,000 letters. The work can, admittedly, become a little monotonous, not only for having to correct hundreds of metadata fields, but also for looking at thousands of letters, which are page after page of barely legible handwriting, often in languages I can’t understand.

Entretien Dominique Chivard et Béatrice Del Frari, enseignants à Saint-François, et Vincent Buard, de l'Association pour la sauvegarde et l'embellissement du patrimoine de Saint-François. Carl Axel Lindman. Lindman showed a great interest in the life and work of Carl Linnaeus.
Among other things he arranged the collections that Linnaeus had worked with. His interest in Linnaeus also resulted in numerous publications, for example "Carl von Linné såsom botanist", which he was commissioned to write in 1907 for the celebration of the 200 year anniversary of Linnaeus' birth, 1707. Lindman has one plant genus named after him, a plant in the Bromeliaceae called Lindmania Mez. Several species contain Lindman's name in the species epithet.
Matthias de LObel. By The career of Matthias de L’Obel (1538-1616) and those of his botanical colleagues Jacques Daléchamps (1513-1588), Rembert Dodoens (1516-1585) and Carolus Clusius (1526-1609) intersect in a number of ways: L’Obel, like Daléchamps and Clusius, had been a student of the influential Guillaume Rondelet (1507-1566), Professor of Medicine at the University of Montpellier. In later life his career would intersect with Clusius and Dodoens when botanical works by all three writers would be published by the same printing house, the firm set up by Christoph Plantin at Antwerp.

Antonius Münchenbergs Herbarium vivum. Antonius Münchenbergs Herbarium vivumNaturhistoriska riksmuseet The oldest dated collection of plants at the Swedish Museum of Natural History is that of Antonius Christophori Münchenberg, a set of native and cultivated plants mainly collected in Gotland 1701 and 1702. Most plants, about 300 species, were collected in Central Gotland, where Münchenberg served as a private teacher in a vicarage, but a large number were also collected in the Academic garden in Uppsala, probably in 1699, when Münchenberg studied under Olof Rudbeck fil.
