covery of America had brought vast num-
Der or new plants to Europe. and their
study doubtless stimulated the more COM
rlete study OF those of the old world. The
great commercial activity OF the century
must also have mad its influence Ships
were bringing new products from all parts
and among these plants were not forgot
ten. But from whatever cause 1t arose the
great impulse and renewed activity In the
discovery and study of plants was quite re-
markable. They produced a large body OF
students. whose labors were unwearied. and
wonderful amount OF botanical literature
Among those students were such men as
Loiiicer, LObel. Caesalpinus L'Ecluse
Mattioli. Caspar and John Bauhin, Conrad
Gesner, Pona, Leonard. Fuchs, Prosper Al
pinus Dodeons and many Others. And
these men were not stay-at-home botanical
students. They were great travellers, whose
