	Introduction to Francois Durande's Notions Elementaires de Botanique
		In 1763, Michel Adanson (1727-1806) altered this considerably by championing the notion that not only the comparative features of flowers should be used but also fruits and to some degree the nature of the whole plant should be considered when evaluating relationships.
		Furthermore, unlike Tournefort and Linnaeus, Adanson suggested that genera could be arranged into natural groups, families, which more accurately reflected what was seen in Nature.
		Adanson in his book, Families des Plantes (1763), arranged his genera into families, a view Linnaeus and others considered worthy but far too difficult to do given the state of knowledge about plants then in a rapidly explored world.
