Antoine Laurent De Jussieu            Origin/Culture/Country: French

Antoine Laurent De Jussieu: was a French botanist, notable as the first to propose a natural classification of flowering plants; much of his system remains in use today.In his study of flowering plants, Genera plantarum (1789), Jussieu adopted a methodology based on the use of multiple characters to define groups, an idea derived from Scottish-French naturalist Michel Adanson. This was a significant improvement over the original system of Linnaeus, who classified plants into families based on the number of stamens and pistils. Jussieu did keep Linnaeus' binomial nomenclature, resulting in a work that was far-reaching in its impact; many of the present-day plant families are still attributed to Jussieu.
