Andrea Cesalpino



         


Andrea Cesalpino (June 6, 1519 - February 23, 1603) was an Italian physician, philosopher and botanist.

In his works he classified plants according to their fruits and seeds, rather than alphabetically or by medicinal properties. In 1555, he succeeded Luca Ghini as director of the botanic garden in Pisa.
