Hi Cynthia and greetings from Sweden!
Just wanted to add my 0..2 cents....the Swdish botanist is Linnaeus, and
his diciple...who back then actually became just as famous as Linnaeus ( he
did more!) is Carl Thunberg. I am sorry I don't have any dates handy :-)
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more :-)))
Best from Ingrid in Sweden
PS The 'old' classifications system used by Linnaeus is still working today
and to be quite frank I am not sure if I prefer what the DNA analysts are
coming up with today! The stiniging nettle is related to the rose ( Rosa)!!!
