	John Ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They demonstrated the ascent of the sap through the wood of the tree, and supposed the sap to precipitate a kind of white coagulum or jelly, which may be well conceived to be the part which every year between bark and tree turns to wood and of which the leaves and fruits are made.
		The first two editions of the Catalogus plantarum Angliae (1670, 1677) were likewise arranged alphabetically; but in the Synopsis stirpium rum (1690, 1696, also re-edited by Dillenius, 1724, and by Hill, 1760) Ray applied the scheme of classification which he had by that time elaborated in the Methodus and the Historia plantarum.
		The classification of the Methodus was extended and improved in the Historia plantarum, but was disfigured by a large class of Anomalae, to include forms that the other orders did not easily admit, and by the separation of the cereals from other grasses.

	Historia Plantarum
		Historia Plantarum (Latin for History of Plants) is the name by which is known an atlas of botany written by Theophrastus between the third and the second century BC.
		This work was organised in ten books, and is an encyclopedia of the plant kingdom, in which a draft taxonomy is sketched, together with a basic classification of plant "elements".
		The work served as a reference point in botany for many centuries, and was further developed around 1200 by Giovanni Bodeo da Stapelio, who added a commentarius and drawings.

		The “rediscovery” of “Historia plantarum” during the Renaissance, and its subsequent printing in 1483, introduced Theophrastus’s contributions to a new era of scholars and students throughout Europe.
		“Eicones plantarum seu stirpium, arborum nempe, fructicum, herbarum, fructuum, lignorum, radicum, omnis generis”
		Scholars believe “Eicones plantarum …” may have been used as a field guide to identify medicinal plants, or as a picture book of the new and exotic plants that were appearing for the first time in late 16th-century Europe.

		The only dates that will keep, they say, are those which grow in the Valley of Syria, while those that grow in Egypt, Cyprus and elsewhere are used when fresh.
		Among the plants that grow in Arabia, Syria and India the aromatic plants are somewhat exceptional and distinct from the plants of other lands; for instance, frankincense, myrrh, cassia, opobalsam, cinnamon and all other such plants.(Historia Plantarum, IV, 4:14, trans.

		Such luxuriant growth is called "goating" (tragan) by Theophrastus (Historia plantarum 4.14.6), and with it he indicates the adverse effects of an abnormality whose result is excessive foliar and floral growth but few appreciable fruits.
		Moreover, by drawing on Theophrastus' technical discussion of propagation methods for the genus Allium (Historia plantarum 7.4.12), it becomes clear that the related term physinx ("bladder") represents the whole flowering mass of the garlic plant, swelling with buds and bulbils, and that popular association has prompted the sexual imagery.
		In the case of the onion (krommyon), Theophrastus (Historia plantarum 1.10.8) points out that the leaves of certain varieties are hollow.

		Manuscript 459 from the Casanatense Library, known as Historia Plantarum (published by Franco Cosimo Panini in a superb facsimile edition), includes and deals, in a systematic and comprehensive manner, with plants, animals and minerals with respect to their pharmacological qualities and their therapeutic properties.
		In leafing through this Code, compiled towards the end of the fourteenth century at the court of Gian Galeazzo Visconti for Wenceslaus IV, king of Bohemia, anybody would feel their hands shake confronted with the beauty of so many pictures and with the depth of the medical and philosophical knowledge displayed.
		On the other hand, it is important to know a great number of vegetable (as well as animal and mineral) species, to process the pulmenta, the salsamenta, the preparata, the composita, the unguenta and the medicamenta, to ensure that a correct choice allows a synergic action of the elements employed.

		De Historia Stirpium is a great folio with more than 500 full page woodcuts of plants and is one of many examples of the extraordinary capacity for hard work evinced by our predecessors.
		Ray was prolific in other subjects as well as botany but here I would like to particularly draw your attention to his greatest work, the Historia Plantarum in three enormous folio volumes, 1686-1704, a convincing tribute to his genius as a systematic botanist and possibly the largest botanical undertaking by one man.
