George Bentham
George Bentham was a respected 19th-century botanist known for his extensive work on plant classification. He systematically studied plants from around the world and organized them into a comprehensive classification system. Bentham collaborated with other scientists, most notably in developing the "Genera Plantarum," a detailed book that helped scientists identify and categorize plant species more accurately. His work laid important groundwork for modern botany, making it easier to understand plant relationships and diversity. Bentham’s contributions remain influential in the scientific study of plants today.
