Caspar's two sons, Erasmus and Thomas both had chairs.
Was in contact with Brahe, Magini, Peder Soerensen, Caspar Bauhin, his son-in-law Caspar Bartholin and Ole Worm, and his grandsons Thomas and Erasmus Bartholin, and no doubt mang others during a long life.

 Thomas Bartholin (www.whonamedit.com)
Thomas Bartholin was the second of the six sons of the famous family produced by Caspar Bartholin and his wife Anna, daughter of Thomas Fincke (1561-1656), who successively became professor of mathematics, rhetoric and medicine at Copenhagen.
When his father, Caspar Bartholin the elder, died in 1629, his brother in law, Ole Worm (1588-1654), took over the custody of the young Thomas Bartholin.
Of their children, the most notable was Caspar Bartholin (Secundus), known eponymously for Bartholin's (Glandula vestibularis major) and Bartholin's duct (Ductus sublingualis major).

"Bauhin's greatest contribution to anatomy was the reform he introduced into the nomenclature, particularly into that of muscles.
Because it is very easy to make mistakes in the enumeration of muscles if they are merely called first, second, etc.; and because different anatomists had named different muscles in this way, not agreeing on the order of the enumeration, Bauhin decided that it was better to use another kind of terminology.
He therefore named some muscles according to their substance (semimembranosus), others according to their shape (deltoid, scalene), some according to their origin (arytenoideus), and others according to their origin and insertion (styloglossus, crycothyroidus).

 Patten 9 - Bauhin
Caspar Bauhin grouped them by a combination of characters, so that grasses, mints, legumes, etc. are classed together.
Many list Bauhin's works as the last of the herbals, since all works following it split into works on medicine or floras of specific areas.
Nearly twenty years younger than his brother Johann, Caspar Bauhin was a delicate, slow-developing child.

Illustrated descriptions of more than 400 plants, with notes on their habitats and uses, abridged from Bauhin's unillustrated classic Pinax of 1623 and probably also influenced by J. Bauhin and J. Cherler's illustrated Historia Plantarum Universalis of 1651.
Caspar Bauhin (1560-1624) revolutionized botany by arranging plants in groups according to their common attributes instead of listing them alphabetically as most of his predecessors had done.
The first edition of the present work was published in 1671 (some sources say 1670) by J. De Ville, who signed the dedicatory letter of the first edition and appears to be responsible for the abridgement of Bauhin's classic.

 Biological Nomenclature - Reveal: Solutions to Biological Nomenclature
Caspar Bauhin (1623) attempted to resolve the nomenclatural morass for plants by basically establishing a list of standardized names.
Their manuscript revision of Bauhin's Pinax was never published because the taxonomy of so many names could not be resolved.
Just as Bauhin and Linnaeus we are faced with the decision of what to do with all of those old names and which name from the multitude ought we adopt.

Bauhin, an illustrious physician from Basle, started his education as a young child under the tutelage of his father who also held the same occupation.
One of his greatest feats during his years as a physician was to universally standardize the naming of the muscles of the human body.

Besides the motions already spoken of, we have still to consider those that appertain to the auricles.
Caspar Bauhin and John Riolan, [Footnote: i Bauhin, lib.

First edition under the title of Institutiones anatomicae, and the best edition of his De corporis humani (1590), with new illustrations and an index. Meanwhile, in 1590 Bauhin published his first complete textbook, De corporis humani: Libri IIII.
Its appearance provoked a storm of abuse from the Galenists.
Corrected and enlarged by a description of female anatomy, it was republished in 1597 as Anatomica corporis virilis et muliebris historia (1597), [G&M 437] (DSB). Bauhin was the first officially appointed professor of anatomy at the University of Basle.

History and Production Trends When the first potatoes were brought to Switzerland, they were considered courious botanical rarities.
The Swiss botanist from Basle, Caspar Bauhin, described the potato plant for the first time in 1596, using the term Solanum tuberosum.
In 1727, for the first time indications are given about potato cultivation on the farm "Gummi" in the canton of Schwyz.

 AIE - TrunkLine - Taxonomy
As the number of discovered species increased, such a method of reference must have proved very difficult to use.
It was at this time that Caspar Bauhin devised a method of assigning two names (binomial) to each species and then in the early 18th century Carl von Linne (Linnaeus) established the system further and undertook the task of actually naming all the living species.
This system uses a system where 2 names are used to identify living things.

Ray's catalog of English plants, first published in 1670, followed the same plan as the Cambridge catalog, itself modeled on the work of Caspar Bauhin.
In later works Ray made good use of other catalogs of Continental botanical gardens.
