“This work by Gaspard Bauhin (1560-1624) was published in 1623, and is also called "A Comparative Table of Plants" or "The Survey of Plants." It deals with over 6,000 species of plants and is considered to have brought Western herbalism to perfection. Its nomenclature had a large influence on John Ray (1628-1707), Tournefort, and on Linnaeus himself.” (Description by University of Kyoto Library)
