Classification

Lamarck, Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de,  French naturalist

Caesalpinus, Andreas , Latinized from Andrea Cesalpino Italian botanist and physiologist
 
Linnaean system of classification used in the biological sciences to describe and categorize all living things.

Ray, John English naturalist who devised a classification system accounting for some 18,000 plant species.

John Ray was possibly the best naturalist of the 17th century, and he went to his grave unable to convince himself one way or the other about the origin of fossils

Andrea Cesalpino, 1524-1603, Italian physician, professor of medicine at Pisa and personal physician to Pope Clement VIII, published De plantis (1583), the first important taxonomic system since antiquity. His system of classifying the plants arranged them in a hierarchical order, and provided a starting point for Linnaeus a century and a half later.
