	Charles de L'Ecluse - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Charles de L'Ecluse or Carolus Clusius ( Arras, February 19, 1525 - Leiden April 4, 1609) was the Flemish doctor and pioneering botanist, perhaps the most influential of all 16th century scientific horticulturists.
		In the history of gardening he is remembered not only for his scholarship but also for his observations on tulips "breaking" — a phenomenon discovered in the late 19th century to be due to a virus — causing the many different flamed and feathered varieties, which led to the speculative tulipomania of the 1630s.
		Clusius, as he was known to his contemporaries, published two major original works: his Rariorum plantarum historia ( 1601) is the first record for approximately 100 new species and his Exoticorum libri decem ( 1605) is an important work on exotic flora, both still often consulted.

	Clusius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Humanist and botanist, Carolus Clusius, the Latinized version of Charles de l'Ecluse (1526-1609), was most responsible for introducing the tulip (and the potato) to the Netherlands, transforming gardens there and throughout northern Europe.
		Clusius was one of the first to recognize them for their own sake, classifying plants according to their color and shape.
		Clusius may have seen the flowers, himself, in 1565, when he again was back in the Netherlands or, if not then, certainly not more than four years later, when he moved to Mechelen.

		Traditionally, Holland's tulip history begins in 1593 when botanist Carolus Clusius, who was well known for his work in Vienna and Prague with medicinal herbs, came to Holland to become head botanist of the new botanical garden at Leiden University.
		Clusius left Vienna in 1593 to go to the Netherlands, a country more tolerant of his Protestant religious practices (because of his principals, he could no longer function at his job in Vienna and Prague).
		Clusius, looking at the value of tulip bulbs only in terms of a scientific perspective, was very stingy with them and refused to give bulbs away or to even sell them.

		It immediately became of great botanical significance thanks to its first director, Carolus Clusius, and curator Cornelis Clutius who jointly introduced many exotics, and saw to it that the scientific value of the Hortus far transcended that of a medical garden.
		The Garden was to play an important role in botanical research and teaching, and was also instrumental in the introduction of many ornamental plants from the Mediterranean and the Far East to the Netherlands.
		Clusius and his successors, including Boerhaave, turn the Leiden Botanical Garden into an international center of botany, which also attracts the young Linnaeus for a study visit.
