	Plumerias: Charles Plumier (1646-1704)
		Charles Plumier (1646 – 1704), was a famous Franciscan monk, vegetarian and botanist, who over the course of his lifetime created 31 manuscripts which documented over 4,300 plants, and 1,200 animals including birds, fish, crabs and mussels.
		Charles Plumier died November 20th, 1704 at the age of 58, on the Isle of Gadis in the city of Puerto de Santa Maria, near Cadiz, Spain.
		Charles Plumier never named a plant after himself, instead the genus name “Plumeria”, was given by French Botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort and Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, the Father of Botany to honor Charles Plumier contribution in the area of botany.
